Extract Tables

Extract PDF tables to Excel without uploading the file.

KeptPDF detects tables in your PDF automatically and extracts them to clean CSV or Excel, all in your browser. Financial reports, lab results, billing data: your data never leaves your device.

Extract tables free How it works

Financial data in a PDF belongs in a spreadsheet.

Medical records, billing statements, financial reports, and court filings frequently contain tables that you need to work with in a spreadsheet. Re-typing them manually is error-prone. Uploading them to a cloud extractor hands your sensitive financial or medical data to a third party.

The difference in one sentence

Tables in financial, medical, or legal PDFs shouldn't need to be uploaded to a cloud service just to move them into a spreadsheet.

KeptPDF detects table structures in your PDF using text-coordinate analysis in your browser, then formats the data into clean columns. The extraction runs entirely on your device, so none of your data is transmitted. Check the Network tab: your data never appears in a request.

Questions, answered.

How do I extract a table from a PDF to Excel?

Open KeptPDF's Extract Tables tool, drop in your PDF, review the tables it detects, and download. Free users get CSV. Pro users ($29/month) get a formatted .xlsx file. Everything runs in your browser, with no upload required.

How does KeptPDF detect tables?

It analyzes the position and spacing of text elements in the PDF to identify grid-like patterns. This works well on PDFs with text-based tables (from Word, Excel, or most financial software). It doesn't work on scanned image tables, so run OCR first.

Does it work on scanned PDFs with tables?

It requires text content to detect tables. If your PDF is a scan, run the OCR tool first to add a text layer, then use Extract Tables on the resulting searchable PDF.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All table detection and extraction happens in your browser. Your financial, medical, or legal data never leaves your device.

What's the difference between CSV and Excel output?

CSV (free) produces a plain text file readable in any spreadsheet app. Excel Pro produces a .xlsx file with multiple sheets (one per table), formatted column widths, and header rows, ready to work with immediately.

Is it free?

CSV export is free with no account, no daily limit. Excel (.xlsx) export requires Pro ($29/month), which also supports larger files (hundreds of MB practical limit, browser memory dependent).
