FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PDF to XLS?+
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 XLS. There is nothing to install and no account required.
Is converting PDF to XLS free?+
Yes. PDF to XLS 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 XLS keep the quality of my PDF?+
StandardsPDF aims for the highest fidelity the XLS format allows, so your PDF comes through looking as close to the original as possible. Some format-specific details may adapt where XLS works differently to PDF.
Are formulas kept when I convert PDF to XLS?+
Cell values, rows and columns from your PDF are always preserved. Live formulas carry into the XLS when it supports them, otherwise they become their calculated values.
Is my PDF file kept private during PDF to XLS conversion?+
Yes. Your PDF is processed in an isolated worker, never shared, and permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. Most PDF to XLS conversions happen right in your browser.
Do I need to install anything to convert PDF to XLS?+
No. Converting PDF to XLS 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 XLS?+
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.
Can I convert several PDF files to XLS at once?+
Yes – add multiple PDF files and StandardsPDF processes them as a batch, returning a XLS for each.
