Text to Table turns text you copied into a real table. Paste a table from a web page, a PDF, an email or a chat. The tool finds the layout (tab, comma, semicolon, pipe, spaces, a Markdown table, a key: value list, blocks of Key: value lines that become one row each, or sentences with Key: value parts), moves a currency symbol such as ₹ into the column name so amounts become numbers, makes the first line the header and keeps numbers like 01234 as text. Then download CSV, Excel, JSON or Parquet, or pass it to another tool. Nothing is uploaded.

Tips
The text must follow one layout. If it mixes several layouts, the tool says so instead of guessing, so paste one layout at a time.
If the columns look wrong, choose the separator yourself.
Text copied from a PDF usually needs Two or more spaces.
Turn off Detect numbers to keep every value as text.
Select the table in the PDF, copy it, paste it here and download Excel. Choose Two or more spaces if the columns are separated by spaces.
What about scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are pictures, not text. Use Screenshot to Data, which reads tables from images with OCR in your browser.
What text can Text to Table read?
Tab, comma, semicolon, pipe and space separated text, Markdown tables, and report-style text. Blocks of Key: value lines separated by blank lines become one row each, and sentences such as "Order #1001 was placed on 2026-10-20 by customer Rahul. Product: Laptop. Status: Delivered." become rows with columns for the repeated parts. The layout is found automatically, and you can pick it yourself if the columns look wrong. If the text mixes several layouts, the tool tells you instead of making a table that could be wrong.
Why does Text to Table say the text mixes layouts?
It only builds a table when the lines or blocks look alike. A paste that contains a log line, a JSON line, a sentence and a Key: value block together has no single set of columns, and any table made from it would be a guess. Paste one layout at a time, or choose the layout yourself in the list.
