PDF to Excel questions, answered.

How are tables detected?

Drefly automatically detects gridded tables on each page. If no table is found, the page's raw text is placed into a single column instead.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Scanned PDFs without a text layer won't have extractable tables or text.

Is there a page limit?

There is no file size limit, but PDFs are capped at 1000 pages per request.

Is PDF to Excel free to use?

Yes, converting a PDF to an Excel workbook is completely free with no signup.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

It works best on PDFs with selectable text. Scanned, image-only PDFs may need OCR first for accurate table extraction.
