Extract the tables from a PDF to a CSV file, directly in your browser. Works best with PDFs containing well-aligned digital tables.

Analyzes the position of each word in the PDF to reconstruct rows and columns, including empty cells and tables that continue across several pages. It's not a generic PDF-to-CSV converter: if a page has no recognizable table structure, it generates no rows for it. Scanned PDFs need OCR (outside the scope of this tool) since they have no real text to analyze.

Use cases

  • Extract a pricing or inventory table from a PDF into a spreadsheet.
  • Move invoice or report data from a PDF into CSV to analyze it.
  • Recover a table from a PDF without copying it cell by cell.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with any PDF?

It works best with well-aligned digital tables (generated from Word, Excel, LibreOffice, etc.). Scanned PDFs or very irregular tables may not reconstruct well.

What happens if the PDF has no tables?

The tool clearly says so and doesn't download any file, instead of inventing a structure that isn't there.
