Image to Excel Converter Online
Whatever format your picture of a table is in, from an iPhone HEIC photo to a TIFF from the office scanner or a scanned PDF, this converter reads it and builds one .xlsx workbook. When the image holds more than one table, each gets its own sheet.

Files are processed on our servers and deleted after 30 minutes.
Ruled lines works best for tables with visible borders; whitespace for tables where columns are only separated by gaps, like bank statements.
When the image holds more than one table, put each on its own sheet or stack them on one sheet with a blank row between.
How decimals are written in the picture. 1,234.56 uses a dot; 1.234,56 (common in Europe and Latin America) uses a comma.
Comma is standard. Use semicolon for Excel in countries that write decimals with a comma.
UTF-8 with BOM makes Excel on Windows show accents and non-Latin text correctly when you double-click the file.
Scanned PDF only: the pages that contain the table, e.g. 2 or 2-4. Leave empty for all pages.

One image to Excel converter for every picture format
Most people do not choose the format of their table picture. iPhones save HEIC, Android phones mostly JPG, office scanners often TIFF or PDF, and images saved from websites WebP. Converting the picture to another image format first only adds a step and another round of compression, so the converter reads all of them directly.
The workbook mirrors the page. Several tables on One sheet each puts a timetable and its notes table, or a balance sheet and an income statement photographed together, on separate tabs. All on one sheet stacks them with a blank row between, which suits small tables you want to compare side by side. For a scanned PDF, the tables on the pages listed under PDF pages end up in the same workbook.

This converter or Excel's Data from Picture
This converter
Works in any browser, with or without Excel installed.
- JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, BMP and scanned PDF
- XLSX, CSV or HTML output
- Several tables split onto sheets
Data from Picture
A Microsoft 365 feature, first on Excel for Android in 2019 and later on iPhone and Windows.
- Captures one table at a time
- Lets you review flagged cells before inserting
- Needs a Microsoft 365 version of Excel
Retyping
Still the fallback for faded or handwritten tables.
- No setup
- Slow for anything beyond a few rows
- Typos are as likely as misreads
Whichever route you take, check the result against the picture before you rely on it: sum a column, scan the dates and look for left-aligned numbers. If the table came from a screenshot rather than a camera, PNG to Excel has settings tuned for that case.
Image to Excel converter questions
Can I upload an iPhone photo in HEIC directly?
Yes. HEIC, the default camera format on iPhones since iOS 11, is read as is, so there is no need to convert it to JPG first. The same goes for HEIF photos from recent Android phones.
How do I get two tables from one photo onto separate sheets?
Leave Several tables on One sheet each, the default here. Each table the converter detects becomes a sheet in the same workbook, in reading order. Leave some space between the tables on the page so they are not mistaken for one wide table.
Can I convert ten images into one workbook in a single go?
You can upload all ten in one run, since the converter takes up to 20 files with the same settings, but each picture becomes its own workbook, saved one by one or as one ZIP. To collect them in one workbook, move the sheets together in Excel with Move or Copy. A multi-page scanned PDF is the exception: its table pages go into one workbook in a single conversion.
Which language setting do I need for a table in Spanish or Hindi?
Choose it under Table language, which lists 34 languages including Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese and both Chinese scripts. Numbers are read the same in every language, so the setting matters for the text columns.
Is a phone photo good enough, or do I need a scanner?
A phone photo works if the page fills most of the frame, the light is even and the camera is held flat above it. Straighten image fixes a small tilt but not strong perspective, so avoid shooting from an angle.
What if my image has paragraphs as well as a table?
This converter keeps only the table. For the running text around it, use image to Word, which rebuilds paragraphs instead of cells.
