How to convert PDF to Google Sheets
If you can select the text and numbers, everything will most likely transfer to Google Sheets without issues. If it’s a scan or a phone photo, the result depends on the quality. Look for clean lines, good contrast, and readable small numbers. So it’s worth checking before you upload.
After conversion, do a quick sanity check (it takes 10 seconds):
- Amounts and dates look correct
- Cells weren’t merged by mistake
- Row count makes sense
It takes just a minute, but it can save you from mistakes in reports.
This tool can be used for anything — from copying one table to processing a whole batch of files.
