Optimization Tips

For best results, use PDFs with clear table structures and borders. PDFs created from spreadsheets or with well-defined tables convert more accurately than scanned documents or PDFs with complex layouts. If your PDF contains multiple tables, each table may be extracted to a separate sheet. For scanned PDFs, consider using OCR software first to convert images to text.

Privacy & Security

Your privacy and security are our top priorities. All file uploads and processing are done over secure HTTPS connections with TLS encryption. Your PDF files are processed in isolated secure containers and automatically deleted from our servers within 60 seconds of conversion completion. We don't track, analyze, or store any information about the content of your files.

Pro Tip

For best conversion results, use PDFs with clear table structures. PDFs generated directly from spreadsheets or databases convert more accurately than manually formatted or scanned documents.
