Who runs it
TableXL is run by Zijian Xiao, China. Questions go to m4ra7h0n@gmail.com; we answer within two business days.
What is free?
Each new account can successfully convert one PDF’s first two pages for free, including preview, correction and Excel/CSV download. A failed extraction does not use the trial. Remaining pages and later files require page credits.
What does a page credit buy?
One credit processes one PDF page, including pages with no recognized table. $9 buys 20 pages; $29 buys 100. No subscription or automatic renewal. Unused purchased credits do not expire. Repeated downloads and corrections are free while the result is available.
When are credits charged?
Only after conversion and export generation succeed. A full conversion of your trial file charges only the remaining pages, and replaces your trial preview and its edits. Reprocessing a different file is a new conversion. Review the preview before using any output.
Where are my files processed?
On this server using pdfplumber and local Tesseract OCR. We do not send uploaded PDFs, extracted data or results to third-party conversion or AI services. Payment and account emails are handled separately by our payment and email providers.
How long do you keep files?
Sources, previews, corrections and results expire within 24 hours of conversion. A scheduled cleanup deletes them automatically; edits and upgrades do not extend this window. You can also delete a conversion or your account sooner. Download before expiry.
What if the result is wrong?
Check every result against the source, especially OCR output. If conversion fails or you are not satisfied, contact support within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. Do not email sensitive statements; include your account email and order reference.
Which files are supported?
Text-based PDFs work best. Image-only pages use local English OCR and are marked “Please verify recognition results”. Limits: 15 MiB, 100 pages, 3,000 rows, and 40 columns for tables. Password-protected, handwritten and complex layouts may fail.
