About OCR Table Extractor
Scanned tables are stubborn, they look like data but behave like a picture, so you cannot sort, filter, or calculate with them. The OCR Table Extractor reads the tables on your scanned pages and pulls them out as CSV, a clean format that opens in any spreadsheet or data tool.
Upload your scanned PDF and the tool detects table structure and exports the rows and columns to a CSV file. It is free, browser-based, asks for no signup, and your file is processed only for the extraction and not stored. CSV is universal, so the result drops straight into Excel, Google Sheets, or a database, though a quick check is wise since column splits on imperfect scans can occasionally be off.

FAQ
Why CSV instead of Excel?
CSV is a universal format that opens in nearly any spreadsheet or data tool, making the extracted table easy to reuse anywhere.
How reliable is the column detection?
Tables with clear borders extract best. Borderless or tightly packed tables may need column fixes after import.
Can it handle multiple tables in one PDF?
It works to extract tabular data from the pages, though complex documents with many tables may need review for accuracy.
Can I use OCR Table Extractor on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
