PDF to Excel Frequently Asked Questions

❓How does PDF to Excel conversion work locally?

Our tool renders each page of your PDF into high-resolution images, and embeds them full-bleed onto Excel slides. This preserves formulas, layout structures, and text styles perfectly.

❓Can I edit the text of the converted slides?

Since pages are rendered as images to ensure 100% layout fidelity, the text itself cannot be modified inside Excel. To make changes, edit the source PDF or overlay new text blocks on the slides.

❓What slide dimensions are supported?

We support widescreen (16:9) and standard (4:3) aspect ratios. You can select your preferred layout in the settings panel.

❓Are my files uploaded to your servers?

No. The entire conversion runs in your browser's sandboxed memory using client-side JavaScript. No documents are uploaded, ensuring total data security.

❓What is the best DPI setting to use?

150 DPI is balanced and creates smaller files, making it ideal for standard presentations. 250 DPI provides ultra-sharp slides for charts and detailed graphics but results in larger files.

❓Is there a limit on the number of pages I can convert?

We recommend converting PDFs with under 50-100 pages at once. Since the processing runs entirely on-device, larger files can use significant browser memory.
