PDF to XLS Conversion

A PDF file (Portable Document Format) often contains text, tables, links, and sometimes images. PDFs are popular because they look the same on all devices — whether on a Mac, Windows PC, smartphone, or even a TV.

However, this uniformity comes with a downside: PDFs are difficult to edit without specialized software — especially tables. Adobe Acrobat is the most well-known solution, but it's usually expensive.

XLS files — Excel spreadsheets — are specifically designed for editing. Microsoft Excel is the most well-known program, with a free web version through Office Online. Alternatives like Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and other free programs also work well.

Why convert PDF to XLS?

PDF files make editing tables difficult. With PDFtoXLS.com, you can convert PDF tables to editable XLS files for free. This saves time and money — especially with structured data.

How to convert PDF to XLS?

To get started, select up to 20 PDF files from your device. You can convert up to 20 files in one session.

Once your PDF files are uploaded, they will appear in the queue for downloading. You can download each file individually or get all converted files at once in a ZIP archive.

If you need to convert more than 20 files, clear the queue and repeat the process. You can use the tool as many times as you need.

After conversion, you can open and edit the XLS files in any spreadsheet editor, share them, or save them as PDF again if needed.
