With Smallpdf’s tools, you can convert JPG to Excel spreadsheets for easy editing. Our conversion tools are free to use—no registration required.
Printing an Excel spreadsheet can be time-consuming, but this should ultimately be a straightforward process. However, that doesn’t mean everything you do with these documents will be similarly simple. If you scan a printed spreadsheet in the hopes of editing its contents, you may run into trouble when your scan results in a JPG document.
Unfortunately, the text and numbers appearing in JPG files can’t be directly edited; as a result, you may be unsure what to do in this situation. Luckily, Smallpdf can help you convert JPG to Excel spreadsheets with ease.
Every day, millions of documents are converted by Smallpdf’s online tools. When you use our website to convert JPG to PDF documents and PDF to Excel spreadsheets, the entire process will take just a few seconds. By following the steps listed below, you’ll have no trouble transforming your JPG image to Excel format.
How to convert JPG into the Excel format with ease
Unlike JPG, Excel is a fully editable format. After going through the process described above, you’ll be able to edit and delete existing text and numbers in your file or add new text/numbers to this document.
When you use Smallpdf to convert your JPG file to a PDF and then put that file into our PDF to Excel converter, you’ll never have to manually add information from a print-out to an Excel spreadsheet again!
Convert JPG FilesOur conversion tools can also extract text from JPG images with the help of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. While using this function, you can rest assured knowing every bit of text and every number visible in an image will be extracted, reconstructed, and placed in a brand-new Excel file.
Better yet, this tool isn’t limited to text in scanned documents. It can also process text in JPG photos taken using your mobile phone or a standalone digital camera.
OCR technology works by analyzing the pixels that make up an image and looking for patterns that resemble characters like letters and numbers. By comparing the patterns it finds to the patterns listed in a database, OCR systems can “read” the text appearing in an image. This technology can also use context clues like punctuation and word spacing to increase its odds of correctly converting text.
However, OCR-powered text conversion isn’t available to all Smallpdf users; instead, this option can only be accessed by people with a Smallpdf Pro subscription. If you’re a free Smallpdf user interested in seeing how OCR can help you convert an image to Excel format, you can give this feature (and other Pro-exclusive capabilities) a test run with our seven-day free trial!
Along with our ability to convert files into Excel format, Smallpdf offers many other PDF-related tools. Here’s what you should know about features such as:
While free users can use these features and others, there is a daily limit on how many times you can use Smallpdf’s tools without a paid subscription. Furthermore, some of our capabilities (such as editing text in our PDF Editor or using Strong compression with our Compress PDF tool) are available exclusively to paid users. To remove these limitations, sign up for a Smallpdf Pro membership or start a free trial!
The PDF, JPG, and Excel formats are all easy to share thanks to their relatively small sizes. To further streamline your sharing process, Smallpdf boasts integrations with both Google Drive and Dropbox. Thanks to these capabilities, our users can import and export files to and from these platforms with zero difficulty.
Of course, these aren’t the only ways to share documents you’ve converted or edited with Smallpdf. After you’re done working with your file, just click the “Share” button on the results page. From that screen, you can copy a direct link to your file or share that link via popular apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, and X (formerly Twitter).
