Free PDF Table Extractor
Extract Tables from PDF to CSV
Upload a PDF with selectable tables and download CSV or TSV files for spreadsheets, databases, and cleanup workflows.
Scanned-table OCR is planned later. This tool currently needs selectable PDF text.
Invoices and statements
Turn line-item tables from vendor invoices, account statements, and reports into spreadsheet-ready CSV files.
Research and reports
Pull structured rows from PDF tables so they can be filtered, cleaned, charted, or imported into data tools.
Selectable PDFs only
Use this for PDFs where you can select the table text. Image-only scans need OCR support, which is planned separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PDF table extractor free?
Yes. Convertr extracts selectable PDF tables to CSV or TSV for free, with no account and no watermark.
Does this work with scanned tables?
Not yet. This MVP is for selectable-table PDFs. Scanned-table OCR is a later enhancement unless a reliable free local OCR path is proven.
What output formats are supported?
You can download CSV for spreadsheets and data imports, or TSV when tab-separated data is easier to paste or parse. Multiple detected tables are packaged in a ZIP.
What is the maximum PDF file size?
You can upload PDF files up to 1 GB, the same intended limit as other Convertr tools.
Are table contents logged?
No. Analytics and logs use only safe buckets and technical error codes. Convertr does not log extracted cells, filenames, document text, or table content.
Does Convertr support encrypted PDFs?
Unlock the PDF first if you know the open password and are authorized to modify it. Encrypted PDFs cannot be read by the extractor.
