See It In Action
From document to structured data in minutes
No complex setup. No code required. Just define what you need and let AI do the rest.
Create a parser
Give your parser a name and description. Each parser is a reusable extraction template — create one for invoices, another for receipts, another for contracts.
Define your schema
Tell the AI exactly what data to extract. Add fields like “invoice number”, “line items”, or “total amount” — choose from 15 field types including tables, objects, and lists.
Connect your tools
Send extracted data wherever you need it — Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Power Automate, webhooks, or Gmail inbox. One-click setup, no code required.

Why Convert PDF to Excel?
PDFs are great for sharing documents, but they lock your data inside. When you need to analyze, sort, filter, or calculate — you need that data in a spreadsheet. Whether you're an accountant reconciling invoices, a data analyst processing reports, or a business owner tracking expenses, converting PDF to Excel is one of the most common data tasks.
The problem is that most PDF-to-Excel converters either break your table formatting, can't handle scanned documents, or require you to manually fix the output. Parsli's AI extraction solves all three problems because it understands document structure the way a human would — reading context, identifying table boundaries, and mapping data to the right cells.
Can You Extract Tables from Scanned PDFs?
Yes. This is one of the most common questions, and one of the biggest limitations of traditional converters. Scanned PDFs are essentially images — there's no text data to copy. Most free converters simply can't handle them.
Parsli uses built-in OCR (optical character recognition) powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Pro to read scanned and image-based PDFs. It doesn't just recognize characters — it understands the visual layout of tables, columns, and rows, extracting data with the same structure you see in the original document.
PDF to Excel vs Manual Data Entry
Manual data entry from PDFs takes 15-30 minutes per document, depending on complexity. A 50-page bank statement or a stack of invoices can consume an entire day. And manual entry introduces errors — transposed digits, missed rows, misaligned columns.
With AI-powered extraction, a single document is processed in under 3 seconds with 95%+ accuracy. That's the difference between spending a day on data entry and spending 30 seconds. Multiply that across hundreds of documents per month, and the time savings are transformative.
