How do I convert a photo of a table into Excel?

Drop the photo or screenshot above. The tool reads every word with OCR, reconstructs the rows and columns from their positions, and shows an editable preview. When it looks right, download it as .xlsx (Excel) or .csv — both open directly in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice.

How accurate is the table extraction?

Clean, grid-like tables — screenshots of spreadsheets, printed price lists, simple bank statements — extract very well. Tables with merged cells, multi-line cells or decorative layouts will need manual fixes; every cell in the preview is editable so corrections take seconds, not a full retype.

Is my bank statement or invoice uploaded anywhere?

No — and for this tool that’s the whole point. The OCR engine runs in your browser via WebAssembly; the image and the extracted data never leave your device. Financial documents are exactly what you shouldn’t upload to random converter sites.

What is the difference between the .xlsx and .csv downloads?

.xlsx is a real Excel workbook; .csv is a plain-text table that also opens in Excel and every spreadsheet app. If you just need the data, CSV is universal; if it will live in Excel, download .xlsx.

Why are my columns misaligned?

Columns are detected from the horizontal positions of the text, so skewed photos shift everything. Shoot straight-on (or screenshot instead of photographing a screen), make sure column gaps are visible, and crop away anything that isn’t the table before converting.

Does it work with handwritten tables?

Not reliably — OCR is trained on printed text. Neat block capitals sometimes work; cursive won’t. Printed and on-screen tables are where this tool shines.

Can I convert a PDF table to Excel?

Yes, in two steps: convert the PDF page to an image with our PDF to JPG tool, then drop that image here. Screenshots of the PDF page work just as well.

From photo to spreadsheet, without the retyping

A price list on paper, a table in a screenshot, a printed report — retyping them into Excel is slow and error-prone. Drop the image above instead: the tool reads every word with OCR, detects the rows and columns from their positions, and rebuilds the table. You get an editable preview first, then a one-click download as .xlsx or .csv.

Built for sensitive documents

The tables people most often need to digitise — bank statements, invoices, payslips, price quotes — are also the documents they should never upload to an unknown server. This converter runs entirely in your browser: the OCR engine is WebAssembly running on your own device, and neither the image nor the extracted data is ever transmitted. Offline? It still works once the page and engine are cached.

An honest word about accuracy

No image-to-Excel converter is perfect, including the paid ones — anyone claiming 100% accuracy on photos is bluffing. Here’s the honest picture: screenshots of spreadsheets and clean printed grids come out excellent; skewed phone photos, merged cells and multi-line cells will need fixes. That’s why the preview is fully editable — click any cell and correct it before downloading, which still beats retyping the whole thing many times over.

Tips for a clean extraction

Shoot straight-on, fill the frame with just the table, avoid shadows, and use the highest resolution you have. Screenshots beat photos every time. Once your data is in shape, our Image to Text tool handles free-form paragraphs, and the Word Counter is there for the prose around your numbers.
