W-2 PDF to Excel Converter
Excel is where most document data actually ends up — reviewed, totaled, and passed along. Converting a PDF to Excel properly means more than dumping text into cells: fields should arrive labeled, amounts should arrive as numbers, and repeating rows should land in their own table.
This converter extracts the document with AI and writes a formatted .xlsx workbook: summary fields on one sheet, and repeating data — line items, transactions, service lines — as proper rows on their own sheet, ready for pivot tables and formulas.
W-2 conversions preserve the box structure: wages, federal and state withholding, Social Security and Medicare figures, and employer details each land in their own named column, with multi-state entries as separate rows — ready for tax-software import or side-by-side review.
How it works

AI extracts the fields
Wages, tips, other comp (Box 1), Federal income tax withheld (Box 2), Social Security wages & tax (Boxes 3-4), Medicare wages & tax (Boxes 5-6), and more — each with a confidence score so you know what to double-check.

FAQ
How do I convert a w-2 PDF to Excel?
Upload the w-2, review the extracted fields, and download the .xlsx. Batch upload combines many w-2s into one workbook.
Do amounts come through as real numbers?
Yes — currency and numeric fields are written as numeric cells, not text, so totals and pivot tables work without cleanup.
How are line items and tables handled?
Repeating rows are written to their own sheet with one row per item, preserving the tabular structure instead of cramming everything into one cell.
