PDF to Excel/CSV Converter — Extract Tables from PDFs in Your Browser (No Uploads, No Server)

Professionals extract tables from PDFs every day — financial reports, research papers, invoices. Most tools force you to upload sensitive documents to a server. That's unacceptable for business and financial paperwork.

So I built PDF to Excel/CSV Converter: a tool you open in your browser, extract tables from any PDF, and download as Excel or CSV — all 100% client-side. No uploads. No accounts. No subscriptions.

The problem

SmallPDF charges $12/month for table extraction. Other online converters upload your files to their servers, where they're stored, processed, and potentially exposed. For financial reports, contracts, or confidential documents, that's a privacy risk you shouldn't have to accept.

The solution: 100% in-browser

The entire app is a single HTML file. It uses:

  • pdf.js for PDF text extraction
  • SheetJS for Excel (.xlsx) generation

That's it. No server. No API. No data ever leaves your machine.

Features

  • Extract tables from any PDF file
  • Preview tables before downloading
  • Download as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV
  • Works offline in any modern browser
  • Dark mode support
  • No sign-up, no account, no tracking

Pricing

Free forever. No subscription. No recurring charge. No account required. Compare that to SmallPDF's $12/month or other online converters that charge per download.

Built the same way as PDF Fill & Sign Tool and Resume PDF Builder — all client-side, all privacy-first.
