PDF to Excel
Convert tables in a PDF into an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx) for free — entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server.
How to convert a PDF to Excel
- Open the tool and add your PDF — drag and drop it, or click “Add PDFs.”
- Check the preview. LambiPdf finds the tables and shows the columns it detected; adjust the header row or page range if needed.
- Download the .xlsx. The spreadsheet is built on your device and saved to your Downloads folder — open it in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or LibreOffice.
Converted on your device — never uploaded
Most “PDF to Excel” websites upload your document to their servers to process it. LambiPdf does the conversion using your own browser, so financial statements, HR spreadsheets, invoices and client data never leave your computer. It's free, needs no account, and adds no watermark.
Numbers and dates become real Excel values
LambiPdf writes numbers as numbers and dates as real Excel dates, so you can sum, sort and filter straight away — while IDs and account numbers with leading zeros are kept as text so they aren't mangled. Tables that continue across several pages are joined into one, and repeated column headers are dropped.
What converts well (and what needs a step first)
- Text PDFs with tables convert directly — the text is already in the file.
- Scanned PDFs (photos of pages) have no text to read. Run OCR first to add a text layer, then convert.
- Complex or borderless layouts can sometimes merge columns; you can pick the header row and the page range in the preview.
Need the other direction?
You can also go the other way and turn a spreadsheet back into a document with the free Excel to PDF and CSV to PDF converters.
