How do I convert PDF tables to Excel?

Upload your PDF to Master Merge's PDF to Excel tool and click Convert. The extracted data downloads as a .xlsx workbook ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Does it handle scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs need OCR to extract text, which isn't currently supported client-side. Use a text-based PDF for best results.

Are columns and rows detected correctly?

For clearly tabular PDFs, yes. Heavily formatted PDFs may require manual cleanup after conversion.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Master Merge processes every file directly in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server. This is the most private way to handle sensitive documents online.

Is this tool really free?

Yes — 100% free with no signup, no credit card, no email, no watermarks, and no hidden limits. We do not run ads or sell data. Use it as much as you want.

The tool runs in your browser using PDF.js and SheetJS — no upload, no server processing. Data is parsed line-by-line and arranged into rows and columns, ready for filtering, sorting, or formula application in Excel or Google Sheets.
