Turn scanned PDFs into editable Excel spreadsheets. OCR reads the document, detects the tables, and rebuilds your data as real rows and columns — free online, no signup.
A scanned PDF is a photograph of a page. Open one and try to select the text — your cursor selects nothing, because there is no text in the file. Just pixels. That's why copy-paste fails, why Excel's "Get Data from PDF" returns nothing, and why most free PDF converters output a blank or garbled spreadsheet from scanned documents.
The solution is OCR (Optical Character Recognition): software that looks at the image the way a human does, recognizes each character, and reconstructs the text and table structure as real data. Our converter applies OCR automatically — you don't need to know or care whether your PDF is scanned or digital.
Drop your scanned PDF — statements, invoices, reports, any document with tables
The converter detects the scan, runs OCR, and rebuilds the table structure
Clean XLSX with proper rows and columns — CSV and JSON also available
Most OCR tools hand you raw output and leave you to find the errors. For bank statements, we do something different: balance verification. Every extracted transaction is checked against the running balance — previous balance + transaction amount must equal the new balance. If OCR misread a digit anywhere, the math breaks on that exact row and it's flagged for review.
This means a scanned statement converted through our tool doesn't just look right — it's arithmetically proven right, row by row. For bookkeepers and accountants working from scanned client documents, this turns hours of spot-checking into seconds of reviewing flagged rows.
