01How it works

How to convert a PDF to CSV

  1. 01

    Choose the PDF

    Drag the file onto this page or press “Choose a PDF”.

  2. 02

    Columns are found from the layout. A table that runs over several pages becomes one table, without repeated headers.

  3. 03

    Download CSV

    Press “Download CSV”. The Excel download is there too if you need formatting.

02The result

The CSV format

UTF-8 with a byte order mark, commas between values, and quotes around values that contain commas or line breaks. Numbers have no thousands separators and use a dot for decimals, percentages are written as fractions (10% becomes 0.1) and dates as YYYY-MM-DD.

03What it reads

Good to know

  • All pages go into one table by default; with one sheet per page, a blank line separates the pages
  • Codes with leading zeros, such as 000123, stay exactly as printed
  • Text that starts with =, +, - or @ gets an apostrophe, so spreadsheets never run it as a formula
  • Need bold headers, number formats and filters? Download Excel instead

04Good to know

Private by design

The PDF is opened and converted by your own browser and never uploaded. The page is technically blocked from sending data to other sites.

Limits

Scans and photos can be recognised in your browser. Blurred images, handwriting and complex layouts may produce errors. Compare the result with the original before using it.

Yes. Choose text recognition and the document language. Recognition runs in your browser; compare the resulting numbers with the original.
