About Extract Tables from PDF

The job of Extract Tables from PDF is narrow on purpose: heuristic table detection exported to CSV. It takes PDF and produces CSV. What it does today: spacing-heuristic tables; verify merged cells manually.

Reach for it when reading and pulling content out of files is a one-off rather than a workflow: one file, one result, no account in front of it.

How to use Extract Tables from PDF in 3 steps

  1. Start by dropping the PDF you want to work on; the limit is 100 MB per file.
  2. Set the pages that hold the tables worth extracting.
  3. Press Extract and download the CSV result.

Extract Tables from PDF: questions

Will it work on a phone?
Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
Is this free, or free until it asks for a card?
Free, with no upsell behind it: no account to create and no file-count quota that appears halfway through a job.
What can't Extract Tables from PDF do?
Spacing-heuristic tables; verify merged cells manually. That limit is stated on the page and in the alert above the tool, not buried in a footnote.
Which file types does Extract Tables from PDF accept?
The drop area takes PDF. Files are read from your device in the browser, so the format has to be one a browser can decode — that is why the accepted list on this page is finite and honest rather than "everything".
