Table Extractor

Paste copied table text from a PDF, email, or document and extract it into clean rows and columns. Export as CSV.

Split by

Common use cases

  • Extract a table copied from a PDF that lost its formatting
  • Convert a tab-separated list from an email into a spreadsheet
  • Parse a price list or product table from a website
  • Turn a pipe-delimited export into clean CSV
  • Recover column structure from a copied report or document

How it works

1
Paste your text
Copy table-like text from a PDF, email, or document and paste it into the input box.
2
Choose a split mode
Leave it on Auto detect or pick the delimiter that matches your data — tab, spaces, comma, semicolon, or pipe.
3
Preview and export
Check the table preview, then download as CSV or copy to clipboard.

Limitations to be aware of

  • Works best when rows are separated by line breaks and columns by a consistent delimiter
  • Auto-detect picks the most common delimiter — use manual mode if the result looks wrong
  • Merged cells from PDFs cannot be recovered — the structure is lost during copy-paste
  • Very complex or multi-level headers may need manual cleanup after extraction
