# PDFtoGrid

> Free browser-based PDF to Excel and CSV converter. It extracts tables from text-based PDFs by reading the position of each piece of text, shows an editable preview, and exports XLSX or CSV. The PDF is parsed in the visitor's browser and is not uploaded for conversion. It has no OCR, so scanned PDFs need OCR first. No signup, page limit or watermark.

## Converter

- [PDF to Excel converter](https://pdftogrid.online/): To convert a PDF table to Excel without uploading it, load a text-based PDF into PDFtoGrid, check the editable preview, adjust column spacing until each column lines up, then download XLSX or CSV. The PDF is parsed by JavaScript in your browser and is not sent to a conversion server.

## Guides

- [How to convert a PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/how-to-convert-pdf-to-excel.html): There are four practical ways to get a PDF table into Excel: a browser-based converter (fastest, and the file can stay on your device), Excel's Data → Get Data → From PDF (Microsoft 365 and Excel 2021 on Windows), Adobe Acrobat Pro's export (paid, and the only one here with OCR for scans), or copy-paste followed by Text to Columns for one small table.
- [Bank statement PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/bank-statement-pdf-to-excel.html): To convert a bank statement PDF to Excel, first check whether online banking offers a CSV, QIF or OFX download. If not, load the PDF into the converter, keep Combine pages and Skip page headers and footers switched on, set the page range to skip the cover and terms, adjust column spacing until date, description, debit, credit and balance separate, then download XLSX.
- [Invoice PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/invoice-pdf-to-excel.html): To convert an invoice PDF to Excel, confirm the invoice has selectable text, load it into the converter, set the page range to the line-item pages, adjust column spacing until description, quantity, unit price, tax and amount separate, correct any cells in the preview, then export XLSX for review or CSV for import.
- [Receipt PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/receipt-pdf-to-excel.html): Digital receipt PDFs (email receipts and point-of-sale exports) usually contain selectable text and can be extracted directly; scanned or photographed receipts need OCR first. Load one receipt, select the item-table page, tune column spacing until item, quantity and price separate, then export and add merchant, date and category columns.
- [Financial report PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/financial-report-pdf-to-excel.html): To extract financial report tables to Excel, process one statement or note table at a time: select its exact page range, adjust column spacing so each reporting period gets its own column, keep subtotal and total rows, export XLSX, record the currency and scale, then reconcile key totals with the PDF.
- [PDF to CSV](https://pdftogrid.online/pdf-to-csv-converter.html): To convert a PDF table to CSV, load a text-based PDF, select only the table pages, use Combine pages when the same columns continue, remove repeated headers, edit the first row into unique field names, then download CSV and test it in the destination system.
- [PDF to Google Sheets](https://pdftogrid.online/pdf-to-google-sheets.html): Google Sheets does not convert PDF page layouts into clean cells itself. Extract the table first in the converter, check it, then copy the cells, download CSV or download XLSX, and in Google Sheets use File → Import → Upload or paste into cell A1.
- [Multi-page PDF table to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/multi-page-pdf-to-excel.html): To convert a table that continues across many PDF pages, set the page range from the first to the last table page, turn on Combine pages into one table and Skip page headers and footers, tune column spacing while checking rows from the start, middle and end, then export and verify the row count.
- [Price list PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/price-list-pdf-to-excel.html): To convert a supplier price list PDF to Excel, note its effective date, currency and price tier, load only the product-table pages, tune column spacing so SKU, description, pack size, unit and price separate, keep SKUs as text so leading zeros survive, then export XLSX or CSV.
- [Purchase order PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/purchase-order-pdf-to-excel.html): To convert a purchase order PDF to Excel, record the PO number, buyer, delivery address, currency and requested date, load the line-item pages, separate line number, SKU, description, quantity, unit, unit price and extended amount, then export and repeat the PO-level fields on every item row.
- [PDF table extraction](https://pdftogrid.online/pdf-table-extractor.html): A PDF table extractor rebuilds rows and columns from the position of each piece of text, because a PDF stores positioned characters rather than a real table. Text-based PDFs with consistent columns extract best; merged cells, multi-line headers and footnotes inside the table need manual repair.
- [Scanned PDF to Excel](https://pdftogrid.online/scanned-pdf-to-excel.html): A scanned PDF stores page images rather than selectable text, so optical character recognition (OCR) must turn the images into text before any table can be extracted. PDFtoGrid has no OCR: run OCR first, then load the text-based result and check the numbers carefully.
