Benefits
- Fast conversion speed with instant file download.
- Enhanced data security as files are never uploaded online.
- Multi-sheet workbook generation for multi-page documents.

Limitations
- Complex borderless tables with overlapping text might require slight column adjustment in Excel.
- Image-only PDFs without OCR enabled will yield an error prompt.
- Files larger than 20 MB are restricted due to browser memory constraints.
Maximum File Security
Since processing is carried out using client-side JavaScript execution, your confidential business or financial files are never exposed to third-party network endpoints.
No Server Storage
We do not store, log, or track your documents or converted Excel files. All operations are destroyed once you close or refresh the tab.
Tips
- Check "Enable OCR" only if your PDF is a scanned document or picture of a table.
- Ensure you enter the correct password when converting password-protected files.
- For multi-page reports, check individual worksheet tabs in the downloaded Excel file.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to your server?

Each page of your PDF is extracted and placed into its own corresponding sheet tab (e.g., Page 1, Page 2) in the Excel file.
What is the maximum file size limit?
The maximum supported file size is 20 MB to ensure smooth performance inside your browser.
