Questions

How well does table detection work?

Well on ruled tables, less well on tables held together only by whitespace. You can preview the detected grid and adjust it before exporting.

What about tables that span pages?

Continuation rows are merged into one sheet when the headers match.

Security note

Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
