Convert PDF to Excel Online

FloxerFile extracts tabular data from your PDF documents and converts them into structured Excel spreadsheets. Each page of your PDF becomes a separate sheet, with columns automatically detected and styled. No manual copy-pasting required. Works best with text-based PDFs — reports, invoices, data exports, and financial statements.

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drag and drop your PDF file into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 10 MB are supported.

2. 2

   Convert

   Click Convert to Excel. FloxerFile extracts all text and table data from your PDF automatically.

3. 3

   Download your Excel file

   Download the generated .xlsx file directly to your device. Your PDF is never stored — it is deleted immediately after conversion.

Features

• Automatic table detection

  Columns and rows are detected automatically from the PDF layout.

• One worksheet per page

  Multi-page PDFs get one sheet per page, named "Page 1", "Page 2", and so on; single-page PDFs export directly to "Sheet1".

• Styled output

  Headers are bolded, shaded light gray, and column widths are auto-fitted up to 60 characters wide.

• Requires a real text layer

  The PDF must contain extractable text, not just images — password-protected or scanned-only PDFs are rejected with a clear message rather than producing an empty file.

• No OCR involved

  This is direct text extraction, not image recognition — for scanned documents, use Scanned PDF to Text instead.

• Clear error messages

  Corrupted, password-protected, or image-only PDFs are flagged immediately with a specific reason instead of a generic failure.

Supported formats

Output format: .xlsx

Frequently asked questions

Which PDFs work best?

PDFs that were generated by software — exported from Excel, Word, accounting tools, or web browsers — work best. These contain a real text layer that can be extracted. Scanned PDFs (photos of documents) do not contain text and cannot be converted.

What Excel format is generated?

.xlsx (Excel 2007 and later), compatible with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and all modern spreadsheet applications.

What if my PDF is scanned or password-protected?

You'll get a clear error instead of a broken file. Password-protected or corrupted PDFs are rejected outright, and PDFs with no extractable text (scanned pages, image-only documents) are flagged separately since they need OCR, not table extraction.

What if my tables are not extracted correctly?

PDF → Excel conversion is best-effort. PDFs with complex layouts — merged cells, multi-column text, rotated text, or embedded images — may produce approximate results. For perfect extraction, consider using the original source file if available.

What is the file size limit?

Files up to 10 MB are supported. Most text-based PDFs are well under this limit — a 100-page report typically weighs less than 5 MB.
