PDF to CSV Converter
Pull the tables out of a PDF into a clean CSV: rows and columns rebuilt from the page, wrapped text joined, repeated headers dropped. Free, and nothing is uploaded.
Paste cells or a Google Sheets link

How it works
Add your PDF
Drop in the PDF. The text is read from the file itself - nothing is guessed from a picture - and rebuilt into rows and columns.
Check the table
Every column is shown with what it holds - numbers, dates or text - so you can see it was read right before you save it.
Download the CSV
Or copy it, or send it straight to a new Google Sheet. Nothing is uploaded at any point.
PDF to CSV converter: tables out, clean and exact
PDF to CSV here reads the text in your PDF and puts the rows and columns back together: cells found by the gaps between them, columns by how the body of the table lines up, wrapped text joined to its row, and a header repeated on every page kept once.
To convert pdf to csv, drop in a bank statement, an invoice, a price list or a report, check the table in the preview, and download. The CSV opens straight away in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers.
This pdf to csv converter reads the characters stored in the PDF itself, so every number comes out exactly as printed - nothing is guessed from a picture of the page.
You can convert pdf to csv free: no account, no page limit and no watermark in the data. And because it runs in your browser, you convert pdf to csv for free without uploading a statement or a payroll report to anyone's server.
How to convert PDF to CSV

Why it matters
Private by design
Bank statements, payroll and customer lists never leave your computer: the file is read and written in your browser.
Nothing silently changed
Leading zeros, long ID numbers, commas inside quotes and line breaks inside cells come through exactly as they were.
Numbers stay numbers
Values like 1,234.50, $1,200 and 7% are recognised, so Excel and JSON get real numbers rather than text.
Questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only when the scan has a text layer (most scanners and Adobe Acrobat add one with OCR). A scan that is only a picture has no text to read; the page says so rather than handing back an empty file. Google Drive can add the text layer: upload the PDF and open it with Google Docs.
What if a table spans several pages?
Every page is read and the rows are joined into one table. A header row repeated at the top of each page is kept once.
What about text that wraps inside a cell?
A line that has nothing in the first column, directly under a row that does, is that row's wrapped text and is joined back to it. Switch that off if your table has genuinely empty first cells.
Are commas, quotes and line breaks inside cells handled?
Yes. Cells are read and written to the CSV standard (RFC 4180): a cell with a comma, a quote or a line break is quoted, and quotes inside are doubled, so nothing splits into the wrong column.
Will leading zeros and long numbers survive?
Yes. Cells are kept as the text they were: 00123 stays 00123 and a 16-digit account number is not turned into 1.23E+15. In Excel output, such cells are stored as text for exactly that reason.
Does it work with Google Sheets?
Paste a Google Sheets link (shared as "Anyone with the link") or copy the cells and paste them. To send a result to Google Sheets, use Open in Google Sheets: the table is copied and a new sheet opens, ready for Ctrl+V.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The whole conversion runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your computer.
Can it open a password-protected PDF or Excel file?
Yes. Drop it in and you are asked for the password; the file is unlocked in your browser and the password is never sent or saved. PDFs locked with RC4 or AES (up to AES-256, PDF 2.0) and Excel workbooks saved with Encrypt with Password both open. A PDF that only restricts copying or printing opens without asking. Without the password nothing is guessed: the file stays shut.
How big a file can it handle?
Hundreds of thousands of rows are fine on a normal laptop; the preview shows the first rows and the download has them all.
