Why use this tool?
Works on scanned PDFs
Most free converters fail on scanned documents. Zerentry's AI-powered OCR reads tables from scans, photos, and image-based PDFs, not just born-digital files.
Tables stay intact
Rows, columns, merged cells, and number formatting carry over to your spreadsheet. Multiple tables on one page are detected and placed on separate sheets.
Fast and private
Your PDF is processed in seconds and immediately discarded. Nothing is stored, indexed, or used for training.
Any spreadsheet app
Download a standard .xlsx file that opens in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, or Apple Numbers.
