Convert a screenshot to Excel in seconds
SnapToSheet is a free, online image-to-Excel converter that extracts a table from a JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP screenshot. Upload a picture of a spreadsheet, invoice, or printed table, and we'll turn it into a downloadable, editable XLSX file — no typing, no account, no software to install.

How to convert a screenshot to Excel
Whether you're starting from a screenshot, a phone photo, or a scanned page, turning that image into Excel takes three quick steps:
Upload your image
Drag in a JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP file of any table — a spreadsheet, invoice, price list, or report. Screenshots, phone photos, and cropped PDF pages all work.
OCR reads the table
Your file is sent to Mistral's OCR model, which reads the text and reconstructs the original rows and columns — even when the source table has merged cells or an irregular layout.
Download your spreadsheet
Review the extracted table right in your browser, then click Download. An Excel (XLSX) file is generated on your device and downloads instantly — nothing is stored on our servers.
Why use SnapToSheet
Anywhere a table exists only as an image — not as text you can select and copy — SnapToSheet turns a photo of a spreadsheet or a screenshot into real, editable rows and columns.
Digitizing a printed table
Snap a photo of a table in a book, report, or handout and get an editable spreadsheet instead of retyping it by hand — a quick scan-to-Excel shortcut.
Saving a table someone sent you
Someone shares a screenshot of pricing, a schedule, or a data table in chat or email. Run it through an image to spreadsheet converter instead of copying numbers one by one.
Pulling numbers out of a PDF
When a PDF's table won't copy-paste cleanly, screenshotting it and letting OCR rebuild the table often beats wrestling with the PDF's text layer.
Capturing data a site won't let you copy
Some dashboards and web pages disable text selection. A screenshot sidesteps that and gets you the underlying numbers as real spreadsheet cells.
Who this is for
Students
Digitizing a data table from a textbook photo or a professor's slide instead of retyping every row by hand.
Small business owners
Turning a printed invoice, supplier price sheet, or handwritten order list into a spreadsheet you can actually total up and search.
Researchers and analysts
Pulling a results table out of a scanned paper or PDF screenshot without transcribing it by hand or fighting broken copy-paste.
Frequently asked questions
Is SnapToSheet free to use?+
Yes. Converting one image at a time is free, with ads supporting the free tier — no credit card and no account required. A paid Pro tier for batch conversions is coming soon.
What image formats can I upload, and can I export CSV instead of Excel?+
JPG (JPEG), PNG, GIF, and WebP screenshots or photos, up to 10MB each — if you upload an animated GIF, only the first frame is read. The download itself is a ready-to-use XLSX file; open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers and you can export or save it as CSV yourself in a click if that's what you need.
How accurate is the table extraction?+
Accuracy depends on image quality — a clear, well-lit screenshot with readable text extracts cleanly. Handwriting, blurry photos, or very dense tables may need a few manual touch-ups after download, so always check the preview before saving the file.
Is my data stored or shared with anyone?+
No. Your image is sent to our OCR provider for processing and is not saved on our servers or in any database. The Excel file is generated in your browser and never uploaded anywhere else.
Can I convert multiple images or screenshots at once?+
Not yet on the free tier, which handles one image at a time. Batch upload — 5 to 20 images merged into a single workbook — is part of the upcoming Pro tier.
Does this work on my phone?+
Yes. SnapToSheet runs entirely in the browser, so you can upload a photo from your phone's camera roll or a mobile screenshot the same way you would on desktop — no app to install.
How is this different from Excel's own "Insert Data from Picture" feature?+
Excel's built-in picture-import tool is a solid option if you already have a Microsoft 365 subscription and are working inside the Excel app. SnapToSheet works from any browser, doesn't require an Excel license, and is just as useful if you end up in Google Sheets or Numbers instead — handy for quickly sending someone a spreadsheet without needing Excel installed at all.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?+
No. There's no software to install and no sign-up for the free tier — upload an image and download your spreadsheet in the same browser tab.
