Word documents only (.docx / .doc) — up to 25 MB. .docx files convert entirely in your browser by default — nothing is uploaded. Enable “Page layout replica” below to make the Excel worksheets mirror the original Word pages.

How to Convert Word to Excel Online in 4 Steps

Four steps and zero setup — no account, no software to install.

  1. Upload your Word document

    Drag & drop or browse — .docx and .doc files up to 25 MB each.

  2. Validate & read the document

    The file is checked by content, then tables, text, images and formatting are read — or, with Page layout replica, each page is rebuilt from coordinates.

  3. Convert to worksheets

    Word tables become worksheets — or in OCR mode, the page is rebuilt from recognised coordinates: positions, spacing, tables, images.

  4. Download your .xlsx

    Open the workbook in Excel, LibreOffice Calc or Google Sheets and edit away.

What gets converted

Everything worth keeping from your document ends up in the workbook.

Word tables → worksheets

Each table lands on its own worksheet with rows, columns and header row intact.

Merged cells

Horizontal and vertical merges are recreated so the table layout stays recognizable.

Formatting

Fonts, font colors, cell fills, borders and alignment carry over cell by cell.

Document text & headings

Paragraphs and headings outside tables fill the Document Text worksheet in order.

Images

Embedded pictures and media are collected with references to where they appeared.

Lists & hyperlinks

Numbered and bulleted lists keep their items and indentation; links stay clickable.

OCR layout mode

With layout replica, digital pages are rebuilt exactly from geometry; scanned pages are recognised word-by-word with OCR.

Original page layout rebuilt

In OCR layout mode each page becomes a worksheet that mirrors the source: text at original positions, tables and images in place.

Headers, footers & footnotes

An optional worksheet with the document's headers, footers and footnotes.

Summary & metadata

A summary sheet lists document statistics, the options used and conversion notes.

Supported formats & limitations

What you can upload, and the honest edges of document-to-spreadsheet conversion.

Supported formats
One document at a time, up to 25 MB.
  • .docx — fully supported — tables, merged cells, formatting, images, headers & footers, footnotes, comments, and tracked changes.
  • .doc — converted server-side to .docx via LibreOffice before extraction (also supported by OCR layout mode).
  • .xlsx output — opens in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and other compatible apps.
  • File size — documents up to 25 MB are accepted.
Known limitations
What no Word-to-Excel converter can honestly promise.
  • Standard mode converts content (tables, text, formatting) but not page layout — enable Page layout replica when the workbook should look like the original page.
  • In standard mode, floating images are collected on the Images and Media sheet rather than kept at exact coordinates (layout-replica places them at original spots).
  • Layout replica on digital documents is exact; on scanned pages OCR estimates sizes, bold, underline and colors from pixels.
  • OCR accuracy depends on page quality — blurry or very dense pages may yield errors.
  • Very large documents are capped at 40 pages per conversion.
  • Text highlight colors are not mapped to cell fills.
  • Tracked changes are interpreted as the final document.
  • Legacy .doc fidelity depends on the LibreOffice conversion step.
