How PDF to CSV works
Upload one PDF (max 10MB, 20 pages) and click Extract Tables. We extract text from the PDF and detect table-like regions (aligned columns, pipes, or tabs), then output a single CSV suitable for Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool. Your file is deleted after you download the result. Best for text-based PDFs with clear table layout; scanned PDFs are not supported. Need to merge PDFs, split a PDF, or convert PDF to Word?
