Upload a scan, photo, or PDF and download a clean Excel file in seconds. Works on any device, any browser. Zero software to install or configure.
Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.
The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.
Get structured output in Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API for direct integration into your systems.
“I work from a Chromebook and could never install traditional OCR software. This runs right in Chrome—I upload a scanned form and have an Excel file in under a minute.”
“Our IT policy blocks software installs on company laptops. A browser-based solution was the only option that did not require a six-week procurement process. We were up and running same day.”
“I needed to convert 40 scanned bank statements to spreadsheets for an audit. Uploaded all of them, got one consolidated Excel file, and the auditor had what she needed by lunch.”
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.
Online OCR to Excel converts scanned documents, PDFs, and photos into Excel spreadsheets entirely within your web browser. There is no software to download, no plugins to maintain, and no IT department approval required. You upload a file, the AI extracts the data on secure cloud servers, and you download a clean spreadsheet—all from the same browser tab you use for email and everything else.
The shift from desktop OCR software to browser-based tools reflects how teams actually work today. Remote employees use company-issued laptops with restricted install permissions. Contractors work from personal devices where they cannot install enterprise software. Teams distributed across offices use a mix of Windows, Mac, and Chromebook machines. A browser-based tool sidesteps all of these compatibility and deployment challenges because it runs on any device with a modern web browser.
Speed is the other practical advantage. Desktop OCR software typically requires installation, license activation, scanning configuration, and template setup before you can extract your first document. Browser-based OCR lets you upload a file and see results within seconds of opening the page. For one-off conversions—a scanned receipt, a PDF table, a photographed form—this immediacy matters more than advanced features you will never configure. Lido provides this instant browser-based experience while also supporting batch processing and API access for teams that need ongoing automation.
Security is a common concern with browser-based tools, but cloud processing can actually be more secure than desktop software. Lido encrypts documents with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, deletes uploaded files within 24 hours, and maintains SOC 2 Type 2 compliance with continuous auditing—protections that most desktop OCR applications do not provide.
No. Online OCR to Excel runs entirely in your web browser. You upload a document, the AI processes it on secure cloud servers, and you download the Excel file. There is nothing to install, and it works on any device with a modern browser including Chromebooks and tablets.
Most single-page documents are processed in under 10 seconds. Multi-page documents take proportionally longer, but a typical 10-page PDF completes in under a minute. Results display as soon as extraction is complete.
AI-powered online OCR achieves 95 to 99 percent accuracy on well-structured financial documents. Lido provides confidence scores on every extracted field so you can set a review threshold and only manually check uncertain fields.
Yes. Upload multiple files in a single batch and receive all extracted data consolidated into one Excel spreadsheet. Lido also supports email auto-forwarding for hands-free processing of incoming documents.
