Image to Excel Converter

Turn a photo, scan or screenshot of a table into an Excel spreadsheet - rows, columns and numbers you can sum. Check the grid, fix any cell, then download XLSX or CSV for Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

How to convert an image to Excel

  1. Add the table image. Drop a photo, scan or screenshot of the table, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
  2. Read it. Pick the language and press Extract text. The table appears as a grid.
  3. Check the grid. Click any cell to fix it. If the columns are off, open Table in the settings and try "Split at gaps".
  4. Download. Press Download Excel for an XLSX, or pick CSV for Google Sheets and databases.

Just need the text, not a grid? Use Image to Text. Have the table in a PDF? Read it with OCR PDF first.

How the columns are found

Every word is read with its position. Rows come from words on the same line; columns come from the empty gaps that run down the whole table.

That works for most printed tables, statements and price lists. For tables with uneven columns, switch to Split at gaps - each row is then cut on its own.

Numbers that stay numbers

1,234.501234.5
1.234,501234.5
$ 12.0012
(45.00)-45
4,504.5

So SUM, AVERAGE and charts work straight away. Codes such as 0042 or 12-05 stay text. Turn this off under Table if you want every cell as text.

Tips for a clean table

  • Straight on. Photograph the table square to the camera - tilted rows can merge.
  • Just the table. Mark it with Area so titles and notes around it do not become extra rows.
  • Small print? Keep Enlarge small text on, or upscale first with the Image Upscaler.
  • Receipts - use the Receipt preset, then the CSV for your expense app.

Need a PDF of the finished sheet? Excel to PDF converts it.
