Drop a picture of a table: a screenshot from a PDF or website, a scanned price list, a photo of a timetable. The tool reads every piece of text, works out the rows and columns from where the text sits, and shows the result as a grid you can edit. Download it as Excel .xlsx or .csv, or press Copy for Sheets and paste straight into Google Sheets or Excel.
Numbers come out as numbers in the Excel file (so sums work), while codes with a leading zero stay as text. Cells the reader was unsure about have an amber edge.
Nothing is uploaded. The image is read by a model that runs inside your browser, so it works for private documents and keeps working on a slow connection once the model is cached.
Tables it handles, and ones it doesn’t
It works best on tables with clear columns: a header row and rows of values, with or without grid lines. Several images become several sheets in one workbook.
Merged cells, cells with several lines of text, and columns that sit very close together can come out split or joined. That is why the grid is editable: add or delete rows and columns, and type over any cell before you download.
Urdu and Arabic tables are read right to left: the first column is the right-most one, and the Excel file opens with a right-to-left sheet.
How to do it
- Drop or paste the table image (or take a photo).
- Check the grid. Fix any amber cells; add or delete rows and columns if needed.
- Download Excel .xlsx or .csv, or copy it for Google Sheets.

How accurate it is (measured, not claimed)
We render known text in each script as images in five styles: a clean screenshot, small 15 px text, a photo (rotated, soft focus, uneven light, JPEG), a dark-mode screenshot and a rough photo (low contrast, blurrier, more tilt, heavy JPEG). Each engine reads them in a browser, and we count the characters it gets right (100% minus the character error rate). The default engine for each script is the one with fewer character errors (within half a point, the one with more whole words right).

Measured 2026-11-03 on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700KF (28 threads), headless Chromium, no WebGPU adapter, cross-origin isolated. Real photos have not been validated for this tool. Generated images are easier than real photos of real paper, so treat these as a ceiling for printed text, not a promise. Tesseract was partly trained on font-rendered text, which may flatter it on generated images. The test text and the script that draws the images are in the project repository.
Private by design
The image is read by an open-source model that runs in your browser (PaddleOCR or Tesseract, both Apache-2.0). It downloads once, about 12 MB for most scripts, and is cached for next time. Your images, the text and your downloads stay on your device: there is no upload, no account and no log of what you read.
Questions people ask
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The reading model is downloaded to your browser once and runs on your own phone or computer. The image, the text and the files you download never leave your device. You can switch off your internet after the model has loaded and it still works.
Is it free? Is there a limit?
It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily cap. Because your own device does the work, there is no server cost for us to recover. Add as many images as you like; they are read one after another.
Which file types can I use?
PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and BMP images, screenshots pasted with Ctrl+V, and photos from your camera. For a PDF, take a screenshot of the page or export it as an image first.
Will the numbers work in formulas?
Yes. Values like 1,250.00 or ₹ 3,400 are saved as numbers. Values that start with a zero, like phone numbers or codes, are kept as text so the zero isn’t lost.
Can I convert many tables at once?
Yes. Add several images; each becomes its own sheet in one .xlsx, or its own .csv in a ZIP.
Does it read tables in Hindi or Urdu?
Yes. Pick the language first. Urdu and Arabic tables are laid out right to left in the grid and in Excel.
