Get table data out of a JPG image

A photo of a price list, a bank statement page, a marks sheet or a stock register contains useful numbers, but you cannot sort or add them up while they are a picture. This page reads the text and numbers from your JPG or PNG with OCR and returns them line by line, keeping the order of rows. You can then paste the result into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and split it into columns in a couple of clicks.

How to convert a JPG table to Excel

  1. Upload the JPG or PNG image of your table in the box above.
  2. Click Extract Text. The OCR returns every row of the table as a line of text.
  3. Copy the text and paste it into Excel or Google Sheets.
  4. In Excel use Data → Text to Columns (choose "Delimited" and "Space" or "Tab"); in Google Sheets use Data → Split text to columns.

Have the table as a PDF instead of an image? Use our Convert to Excel tool, which creates a ready XLSX file directly from PDF pages, or read the guide on PDF bank statements to Excel.

What kind of images work best?

  • Printed tables with clear lines, such as invoices, GST bills, rate cards and marks sheets.
  • Screenshots of tables from apps and websites.
  • Photos taken straight from above with even light and no folds in the paper.
  • Handwritten registers can work if the writing is neat, but check the numbers afterwards.

Tips for accurate numbers

  • Crop the image to just the table so headers and footers do not get mixed in.
  • Use a high resolution photo; decimal points and commas are small.
  • For wide tables, photograph the page in landscape so every column is readable.
  • After pasting into Excel, use a SUM on a column and compare it with the total printed on the bill to check for OCR mistakes.

Who uses JPG to Excel?

Accountants and shop owners turn photographed bills into expense sheets. Teachers convert printed marks lists into spreadsheets. Students copy data tables from textbooks for projects. Sales teams turn photographed price lists into catalogues. Instead of typing hundreds of cells, you check and correct a few.
