Whatsclaw AI

Image to Excel (Table OCR)

Detects the table grid in an image or PDF, reads each cell with OCR, and exports a real .xlsx file — preserving rows, columns, merged cells, and any logos or photos inside cells. Tables without visible borders are also attempted using an AI layout-detection model. Multi-page PDFs export one sheet per page. Runs entirely in your browser.

Processed entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to a server.
Works best on bordered tables in clear, straight-on scans or screenshots. Borderless tables fall back to an AI structure-detection model, which is less reliable than ruling-line detection. Angled photos, faint scans, and handwriting reduce accuracy either way — always check the preview before downloading.

How it works

  1. The image — or each page of a PDF — is scanned for a grid of ruling lines to detect rows, columns, and merged cells.
  2. If no ruling lines are found, an AI layout-detection model estimates the table structure directly instead.
  3. Each cell is classified as text or artwork: text cells are read with OCR, and picture cells are cropped out and embedded in place.
  4. The recovered rows, columns, merges, and pictures are written into a real .xlsx workbook — one sheet per page for a multi-page PDF — entirely inside your browser.
