Free PDF to Excel — specialised for bank statements.
A free conversion to try the tool, an honest description of the limits, and a converter opinionated about transaction tables. Not a generic extractor pretending to be everything.

Paid plans for regular use

/ 01 WHAT 'FREE' ACTUALLY MEANS
Free PDF to Excel — with honest fine print
There is a free tier: one conversion without an account, and two more after signing up. No card is required for either. What's not free is unlimited conversions — for that you need a paid plan.
That structure exists because processing PDFs — especially multi-page bank statements — costs real compute. A limited free tier keeps the door open to try the tool without ads, without email harvesting, and without deceptive 'free' pages that hide a paywall behind the download button.
/ 02 SPECIALISED, NOT GENERIC
Optimised for bank statements and transaction tables
Generic PDF-to-Excel converters treat every PDF the same. They pull out whatever tables they can find and stitch them into a spreadsheet — sometimes well, sometimes poorly, without any understanding of what the columns mean.
This tool is opinionated. It looks for the shape of a bank statement — dates in one column, transaction descriptions in another, monetary values in debit / credit / balance columns — and reconstructs the row structure the way an accountant would expect. That focus makes it more accurate on statements and less useful for random PDFs like invoices or research reports.
If you have an invoice or a general table to extract, a generic tool may serve you better. If you have a bank statement, use one built for that job.
/ 03 CHECK YOUR PDF FIRST
What to check before uploading
Open the PDF and try to select a transaction row with your cursor. If the text highlights, you have a text-layer PDF and this tool can read it. If nothing highlights — you're just selecting a picture — it's a scanned PDF and you'll need OCR pre-processing before uploading.
If the PDF is password-protected, keep the password handy. The upload flow prompts for it, decrypts in memory, and never stores it.
After conversion, open the Excel file and spot-check five rows against the original PDF: date, description, and amount. That's usually enough to catch a column misalignment before you start using the file downstream.
