FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PDF to Excel?+
Upload your PDF file (or drag it onto the box above), wait a few seconds while StandardsPDF converts it in your browser, then download the Excel. There is nothing to install and no account required.
Is converting PDF to Excel free?+
Yes. PDF to Excel conversion is free on the StandardsPDF free tier – no watermark, no signup, and no credit card. A Pro tier lifts the file-size and daily limits if you need more.
Will the Excel keep the quality of my PDF?+
StandardsPDF aims for the highest fidelity the Excel format allows, so your PDF comes through looking as close to the original as possible. Some format-specific details may adapt where Excel works differently to PDF.
Are formulas kept when I convert PDF to Excel?+
Cell values, rows and columns from your PDF are always preserved. Live formulas carry into the Excel when it supports them, otherwise they become their calculated values.
How long does a PDF to Excel conversion take?+
Most PDF files convert to Excel in a few seconds. Larger or higher-resolution files take a little longer, but there is never a queue on the free tier.
Is my PDF file kept private during PDF to Excel conversion?+
Yes. Your PDF is processed in an isolated worker, never shared, and permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. Most PDF to Excel conversions happen right in your browser.
Do I need to install anything to convert PDF to Excel?+
No. Converting PDF to Excel runs entirely in the browser – no desktop software, no extensions and no account for the free tier.
What is the maximum PDF file size I can convert to Excel?+
Up to 100 MB per PDF on the free tier and 2 GB on Pro. If your PDF is larger, split it first or upgrade for the higher limit.
