Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is table detection?
▾
Well-structured tables with clear grid lines convert with 95%+ accuracy. Borderless tables may need manual cleanup.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
▾
Run our OCR tool first. Without OCR, numbers remain as images and cannot be imported to cells.
Will formulas be preserved?
▾
PDF does not store formulas. Only calculated values. You will need to re-enter formulas in Excel.
Are my files private?
▾
Files are processed on EU servers (Germany) and deleted automatically after 30 minutes.
Is the converter free?
▾
Yes. No registration, no subscription, no watermarks.
Can I convert multiple tables at once?
▾
Yes. Every detected table becomes its own sheet in the output workbook.
Does it work on mobile?
▾
Yes. Any modern browser on iOS or Android.
