Frequently Asked Questions About PDF to Excel
Will my PDF file be uploaded to a server?
No — nothing is uploaded. This tool runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly/JavaScript; your file never leaves your device.
Is there a file-size limit, a usage cap, or a hidden fee?
It's free and unlimited, with no watermark and no forced file-size cap — the only real limit is your own device's memory for very large files.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No — no account, email, or sign-up is required for any tool. Just start using it.
Can I use this on my phone (iPhone or Android)?
Yes — it works in any modern mobile browser, no app install needed.
Are numbers converted as genuine values that support formulas?
Yes, detected numbers are formatted as genuine numeric values rather than static text, allowing you to use formulas like SUM, build charts, or create pivot tables immediately.
