PDF → Excel, editable .xlsx
Extract tables from a PDF into an editable Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet, with table detection and OCR for image-based tables. This tool runs on our server, not in your browser.
Drop your files
Server-side processing (necessary for this tool). File deleted right after we send back the result.
Why this tool needs a server (and how we handle it)
- This tool needs a binary that doesn't run in browsers (Ghostscript, qpdf, LibreOffice, or Tesseract).
- Your file is processed in an isolated tmpdir per request, on our own server: a VPS in Mumbai, India.
- We delete the tmpdir immediately after the response is sent. A cron backstop clears anything left within an hour (for example after a crash).
- The disk is not encrypted at rest; the file only exists on it for the seconds it takes to process, then is deleted.
- No logging of file contents. No human review. Never used for training, never shared, never kept.
- Sent over HTTPS (TLS), with HSTS preload and a strict CSP enforced.

Why use LovedPDF for pdf to excel
Real cell-by-cell extraction
Proper table structure, not just a text dump.
Works on scans
OCR runs first, so scanned tables become editable too.
Honest about the server
We name where it runs (Mumbai, India), send over HTTPS, delete right after. No training.
