About this tool
Got a table on paper or in a scan? This tool finds the rows and columns in the image, reads each cell, and builds a spreadsheet. It handles tables with ruled lines best, as well as simple tables without them.
Common questions
Should I check the numbers?
Yes. Scanned tables can contain reading errors, so check any figures that matter before you use them.
Can it read several tables on one page?
Yes. Each ruled table gets its own sheet, or they can all go on a single sheet.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.
What happens to my files?
Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
