How to Extract Images and PDFs to Excel on LightPDF AI

Step 1: Upload Your File

Head over to the LightPDF AI document extraction tool. Sign up for a new account or log into your existing one. On the main interface, upload your image or PDF file—invoices work particularly well here. One heads-up: the platform performs best with English-language documents. Vietnamese text may experience font rendering issues during export, so keep that in mind if you're working with localized content.

Once your file uploads, click the Analyze Now button. The tool springs into action, scanning your document and preparing the data for conversion. You'll see a preview table showing all detected fields and their extracted values. Take a moment to review this against your original document—flag any items that need adjustment or removal. When you're satisfied, hit Process all files to proceed.
