How to Convert an Image to Excel
- Add the image - Drop a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP screenshot or photo of a table onto the page. It is read locally in your browser.
- Text is recognised - An OCR engine running in your browser reads every word and records where it sits on the image.
- Rows and columns are reconstructed - Words that share a line become a row, and the gaps between them become column breaks, so the table structure is rebuilt from the layout.
- Check the preview and download - Correct anything OCR misread directly in the preview, then save the result as an .xlsx workbook.
How the Table Structure Is Rebuilt
An image has no cells. All the OCR engine returns is a list of words and a bounding box for each one, so the table has to be inferred from geometry: words whose boxes overlap vertically belong to the same row, and unusually wide horizontal gaps mark the boundaries between columns. Those boundaries are then averaged across every row, so a column stays straight even when individual words wobble by a pixel or two.
This is why a clean screenshot works far better than a photo. Any rotation shears the rows apart, and shadows or glare cost you whole characters. If you can screenshot the table rather than photograph it, do.
Always Check Before You Trust It
OCR misreads are quiet and plausible: 0 for O, 1 for l, a decimal point lost in a low-resolution scan. Nothing flags them, which is exactly why the preview above is editable rather than read-only - it is faster to fix a cell here than to hunt for it after the numbers have gone into a report.
