JPG to Excel Converter — Free OCR (XLSX)

Turn a photographed table into a spreadsheet

A table on paper is only useful once it is in a spreadsheet. Photograph a price list, a mark sheet, an attendance register or a printed report, and this tool recognises both the characters and the grid structure, rebuilding it as real Excel rows and columns.

This is the difference between OCR that produces a wall of text and OCR that produces something you can actually calculate with. The tool looks for the table's structure — ruled lines and consistent column spacing — and maps values into the cells they belong in.

English and Hindi are both supported, which makes it practical for Indian registers, government forms and printed reports.

Common problems and how to fix them

Everything landed in one column

Column boundaries could not be detected. Photograph the table so the ruled lines are clearly visible, or split the column afterwards in Excel using Text to Columns.

Numbers imported as text

Spreadsheets often treat recognised digits as text. Select the column in Excel and use Text to Columns, or multiply by 1, to convert.

Rows are jumbled

Merged cells and rows that wrap onto two lines confuse detection. Sort afterwards in the spreadsheet.

Hindi values are wrong

Confirm Hindi is selected and use a sharper, higher-resolution image. Devanagari needs more detail than Latin script.

Part of the table is missing

Sections in shadow or cut off at the frame edge are skipped. Retake the photograph with the whole table in frame and evenly lit.

Nothing was detected

There may be no recognisable grid, or contrast may be too low. Try the image enhancer in text mode first.

Photographing a table for clean extraction

• Get the whole table in frame with a small margin around it — cropping into the edge loses columns.
• Keep the camera flat and parallel to the page so the grid stays rectangular.
• Use even lighting with no glare across any part of the table.
• Photograph one table at a time; several tables on one page confuse the detection.
• Flatten the paper, since curl distorts the grid near the edges.
• Always check totals against the original before using the extracted data.

Your file never leaves your device

Extraction runs inside your browser, so photographed financial records and registers never leave your device. This matters most when the document is personal — an Aadhaar or PAN scan, a bank statement, a salary slip, a medical report or a signed contract. With a server-based converter you are trusting an unknown company with that file. Here there is nothing to trust, because the file is never transmitted anywhere.
