PDNob Scan to Excel FAQs

How do I scan a document directly to Excel?

To scan to Excel, you first need a digital copy of your scan — either a scanned PDF or an image file (JPG/PNG). Upload it to PDNob's Scan to Excel converter online, click Convert, and download the resulting Excel file. The OCR engine reads the text and table structure automatically so you don't need to retype anything.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Excel without losing data?

Yes. PDNob uses ABBYY-powered OCR to extract text, numbers, and table structures from scanned PDFs with high accuracy. The resulting Excel file preserves the original data arrangement, so figures and labels remain in the correct cells. Minor variations can occur with very low-resolution scans, but overall data integrity is maintained.

What file types can I use with the Scan to Excel converter?

PDNob's online Scan to Excel tool accepts scanned PDFs as well as common image formats including JPG and PNG. Files up to 15MB are supported for cloud-based conversion. For larger scanned documents or batches, the PDNob desktop version handles files up to 100MB and supports batch processing.

How do I scan a table from a photo or image into Excel?

Take a clear photo of the table with your phone and save it as a JPG or PNG. Upload the image to PDNob's Scan to Excel converter, and the OCR engine will identify the table grid, extract each cell's content, and output a structured Excel spreadsheet. For best results, ensure the image is well-lit and the text is not blurred.

Is there a free way to scan receipts or invoices to Excel?

Yes. You can scan a receipt or invoice to Excel for free using PDNob online. Upload a scanned image or PDF of the receipt, convert it, and download the Excel output with all line items and amounts extracted. This is especially useful for expense tracking or bookkeeping workflows.

How accurate is OCR when scanning to Excel?

PDNob's OCR engine, powered by ABBYY technology, achieves up to 99% recognition accuracy on clearly scanned documents with standard fonts and layouts. Accuracy can decrease for handwritten content, very small fonts, or heavily skewed scans. Using the desktop version with its advanced OCR settings gives you more control over output quality for challenging documents.
