Document to data

Drop a PDF or a scan. You get its text and tables back, ready for a spreadsheet. It all happens in your browser: your file is never uploaded, and nothing is stored.

How it works

Typed PDFs

The words and their positions are read straight from the file, so the text is exact.

Scans and photos

The page is drawn and read with Tesseract, an open-source text recogniser that runs inside your browser. Check numbers from scans before you rely on them.

Tables

Lines whose words fall into the same columns become a table. Ruled and simple tables come out well; complex layouts may need tidying.

Your file

It stays on your device. This page is not allowed to send data anywhere but this site, and it sends nothing about your file.

Need this for thousands of documents, with checks, fields you name and results in your own systems? That is our data extraction service.
