Frequently asked questions
Does PDF to Excel preserve formulas?
No. PDFs contain displayed page content, not the spreadsheet formulas behind it; the output contains extracted text and values.
Will complicated tables transfer accurately?
Simple rows work best. Borderless tables, merged cells and multi-column layouts may have misplaced data, so verify the workbook.
What about a scanned statement?
Use OCR PDF to add searchable text to the scan first; extraction from a scan without a text layer is unreliable.
What is the free file size limit?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Are uploaded documents private?
Files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after a short time following processing.
