FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are tables detected?
Drefly automatically detects gridded tables on each page. If no table is found, the page's raw text is placed into a single column instead.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Scanned PDFs without a text layer won't have extractable tables or text.
Is there a page limit?
Yes, there’s no file size or page limit - any size PDF is supported per request.
Is PDF to Excel free to use?
Yes, converting a PDF to an Excel workbook is completely free with no signup.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
It works best on PDFs with selectable text. Scanned, image-only PDFs may need OCR first for accurate table extraction.
