Image to Excel (formerly It Excel) vs ExcelMaster

Upload a JPG or PNG and Image to Excel rebuilds the table rows and text inside as a downloadable .xlsx file. The web converter is free, needs no account, and returns results in a few seconds after you click Convert.

Unlike plain OCR tools that dump unstructured text, Image to Excel targets table grids and form layouts in photos. It handles English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, which covers a lot of scanned receipts, invoices, and paperwork that would otherwise need manual retyping.

You can use it in a browser or through dedicated iOS and Android apps. The interface is built around a single upload-and-convert flow, so the whole process takes a few clicks.

It is aimed at accountants, data entry staff, office admins, and anyone who regularly receives table data as screenshots or scanned images instead of native spreadsheet files.

Windows desktop Excel can run an autonomous agent add-in that plans multi-step spreadsheet work from plain-language prompts. ExcelMaster reads workbook structure across sheets, writes formulas or VBA/Python, executes changes inside Excel, and shows each step in a live sidebar. Finance teams, analysts, and operations staff use it for month-end close, variance reports, data cleanup, and macro automation without leaving the file.

Where Copilot and ChatGPT stop at suggested snippets, ExcelMaster closes the loop inside the workbook. It maps real sheet names, merged cells, and cross-sheet references before generating code, runs VBA or Python locally, verifies output, and retries on errors with automatic rollback. The product site cites internal benchmarks where template-style chat code needed far more edit rounds than agent execution on real user cases.

Dedicated Formula Assistant, VBA Assistant, and Cell AI modules cover formula dialogue, macro automation, and per-cell tasks like classification, keyword extraction, format conversion, sentiment scoring, and translation. Files stay on your machine; only relevant cell content goes to AI models when analysis is needed.

ExcelMaster requires Excel 2016 or later on Windows 10/11 (desktop, not Excel Online). Subscription plans start at $9.99 per month with a 3-day trial, and one-time credit packs are sold separately. The site also hosts free browser utilities for Excel, PDF, and Word conversions.
