# Image to Excel > Table screenshot or photo to an editable grid, then XLSX, CSV or TSV, in this tab. PP-OCRv5 reads the text, SLANet_plus finds the cells. Nothing is uploaded. - URL: https://bytescope.dev/en/image-to-excel/ - Locale: en · Also: [ja](https://bytescope.dev/ja/image-to-excel.md) · [zh-Hant](https://bytescope.dev/zh-Hant/image-to-excel.md) - Runs: Your files never leave your browser — all processing is local. - Requires: Any modern browser. Text reading uses WebGPU where available and WebAssembly otherwise; the table model runs on WebAssembly. The first run downloads the text and table models once, and the ONNX Runtime script loads from cdn.jsdelivr.net. Your picture is never uploaded. - Updated: 2026-09-08 ## What it does ### A bank statement should not go to a converter site Most “image to Excel” services upload the picture, and the pictures people convert are account statements, invoices and sales reports. This page keeps everything in the tab: PP-OCRv5 — the same engine as Image to Text — reads the words, and SLANet_plus, an Apache-2.0 table-structure model of about 8 MB, decides which word belongs to which cell. Both are downloaded once and cached; the OCR model is already on disk if you have used Image to Text. ### Paste, check, export Paste a screenshot or drop a photo, and the result appears as an editable grid next to the original. Fix a cell in place, then download `XLSX` or `CSV`, or copy the grid as `TSV` and paste it straight into Excel or Google Sheets. Numbers with thousands separators, negatives in parentheses or a percent sign are written as numbers, not text, so sums work on the other side. ### Verify every number before you use it OCR is not accounting. Check each figure against the image before it goes anywhere that matters, and look hardest at amounts: a lost decimal point, a comma read as a point, and `1` mistaken for `7` are the usual errors. Merged cells, diagonal headers and handwritten tables are recognised less accurately than a printed grid with clear lines. ### What you get back is values The spreadsheet contains the numbers and text that were visible in the picture. Formulas, cell formats and hidden rows cannot be recovered from pixels, so a `Total` row is a typed-in number, not a `SUM`. Open the result in CSV Explorer to sort and filter it before it goes into a real workbook. ## Limits Does not restore formulas, only the values, and does not read handwritten tables, merged cells or diagonal headers reliably. Numbers are the page's best reading and must be checked against the picture before you use them, especially money. ## FAQ ### Is the image uploaded? No. Text recognition and table-structure detection both run in this tab. The only network requests fetch the model files the first time; your image is not part of them. ### Which models does it use, and how big are they? PP-OCRv5 for the text — shared with Image to Text, about 15–20 MB — and SLANet_plus for the table structure, about 8 MB. Both are official PaddleOCR exports under Apache-2.0, downloaded once and cached. ### Can I trust the numbers? Treat them as a draft. Decimal points, thousands separators and `1` versus `7` are commonly misread, so compare every amount with the image before the file is used for anything financial. The editable grid exists so you can correct a cell before export. ### What kinds of tables work badly? Merged cells, diagonal (slashed) headers, handwriting and tables without clear lines are recognised less accurately. A printed table with visible gridlines is the supported case; expect to fix more cells on anything else. ### Does it recover formulas? No. A picture only shows values, so every cell is written as the number or text that was visible. A total that was a formula in the original is a plain number here. ## Related tools - [Image to Text](https://bytescope.dev/en/image-to-text.md) — Read a paragraph of printed text from a photo, not a table. - [CSV Explorer](https://bytescope.dev/en/csv-explorer.md) — Open the exported CSV and filter, sort or query it in the browser. - [Redact Screenshot](https://bytescope.dev/en/redact-screenshot.md) — Black out private details in a screenshot before you share it.
