FAQs

What kinds of tables are detected?

The tool detects tables by grouping text items with similar vertical positions and clustering columns by horizontal coordinates. It works best with well-structured, text-based tables.

Are scanned PDFs supported?

Scanned images are not parsed as text. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first to produce selectable text, then convert.

Can I choose which pages to convert?

Yes — choose All pages or specify ranges like 1-2,4.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No — all processing runs inside your browser and files are not sent to a server.

What is the file size limit?

Files up to 20 MB are supported. Larger files may be slow or fail due to memory limits.

Does the output preserve cell formatting?

The tool preserves text content and basic layout. Advanced styling (colors, merged cells) may need manual adjustment in Excel.

How accurate is extraction?

Accuracy varies by PDF layout. Use the preview to confirm results and adjust options if needed.
