Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting PDF to XLSX free?

Yes. This PDF → XLSX converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert PDF to XLSX?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire PDF → XLSX conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple PDF files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many PDF files as you like and convert them to XLSX in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will converting PDF to XLSX lose quality?

No. XLSX is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your PDF file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.

Will transparency be preserved when converting PDF to XLSX?

Yes. Both PDF and XLSX support alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas of your file are kept unchanged in the XLSX output.

How will the file size change after converting PDF to XLSX?

Both formats use comparable compression, so the XLSX output will be similar in size to your PDF file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
