PDF, scan and photo to Excel

Convert PDFs, scans and photos to Excel. Checked before you export.

Name the columns you want, upload a batch of documents, and get one clean Excel sheet back. Every value Saff is unsure of is flagged next to the page it came from, so nothing reaches your workbook unreviewed.

  • One PDF or a folder of them, scans and photos included
  • Only the columns you named, the same for every file
  • Uncertain values flagged before anything is exported

FAQ

The questions people ask before they upload.

Is it safe to upload confidential documents to an online converter?+

Read what the tool does with the file. Most free converters keep an uploaded file on their servers for a period of hours and say so in their terms. Saff uses the original for the extraction and then removes it, unless your workspace connects its own storage and chooses to keep originals there. Extracted values stay in your workspace, encrypted and separated from every other customer, and are never used to improve anything for anyone else. If documents cannot leave your company at all, Saff can be installed on your own machines.

Can I convert multiple PDFs to Excel at once?+

Yes. Upload a batch, a month of invoices or a folder of delivery notes, and every file is read against the same columns. You get one sheet with one row per document, the same column order for every file, whatever the supplier's layout.

Can you convert a scanned PDF to Excel?+

Yes. A scan is a picture, so Saff reads the page as an image, extracts the fields you named and flags any value it could not read with confidence for a person to check against the scan. Phone photographs are handled the same way.

Does it work with Arabic PDFs?+

Yes. Arabic, English and both on the same page, including right-to-left layouts, Arabic-Indic numerals and bilingual UAE tax invoices. Text is stored as text, the right way round, so it sorts and filters. The interface is available in Arabic as well.
