Is my data secure when I upload documents?

Every file transfer is encrypted using TLS 1.3, the same security protocol used by banks. Once uploaded, files are stored encrypted and automatically deleted from our servers within 2 hours of processing. We do not read, analyse, or share your documents with any third party.

What's the file size limit?

Each PDF can be up to 50MB on the free tier. If you need to convert larger files, contact us — bulk processing for larger jobs is available.

How well are tables extracted from PDFs?

Table extraction quality depends on how the data is structured in the PDF. Clearly formatted tables with defined rows and columns convert with high accuracy. PDFs with merged cells, complex multi-level headers, or image-based tables may need light clean-up in Excel after conversion.

What format is the output file?

The converted file is in .xlsx format, fully compatible with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers.

Do I need to install software or create an account?

No installation and no signup required. PDFHaul runs entirely in your browser. You can convert PDFs immediately without creating an account.

How long is the converted file available to download?

Your Excel file is available to download immediately after processing. Files are permanently deleted from our servers within 2 hours. Save the file to your device before closing the page.

Does PDF to Excel conversion work on mobile?

Yes. The PDFHaul web app works on any browser including mobile Safari and Chrome. The PDFHaul mobile app gives you a faster native experience for converting PDFs directly from your phone.
