Convert a bank statement PDF to Excel
Pick your statement, review and fix the table, then download Excel. The file is read on your device and never uploaded.
Last reviewed: October 31, 2026Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter or open is uploaded.
The short answer
Choose the PDF statement you downloaded from your bank’s app or website, and the transactions appear in a table: date, description, debit, credit and balance. We check that each balance equals the previous one plus credits minus debits, and highlight rows that do not. Click any cell to fix it, then download Excel or CSV. Nothing is uploaded.
How it is calculated
How it reads a statement: it takes every word on the page with its position, groups words into lines, and finds the columns from the header row (Date, Description, Withdrawals, Deposits, Balance). A line that starts with a date is a new transaction; a line under it without a date continues its description.
Cleaning up: "(45.00)" or "45.00 DR" become debits, "1.250,50" becomes 1250.5, and dates become 2026-10-05. Dates printed without a year (like 10/02) take the year from the statement period.
The check: previous balance + credits − debits = balance. Both oldest-first and newest-first statements are checked.
Worked example
Emily wants her October statement in a spreadsheet to sort her spending:
- She downloads the PDF from her bank’s website and picks it here.
- The transactions show up in a table with a green note: all balances add up.
- One transfer’s description ran over two lines; the table already joined them into one cell.
She clicks Download Excel and gets real dates and numbers she can sum and filter.
Quick reference table
| On the statement | In Excel | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,250.50 | 1250.5 | Comma thousands, dot decimals |
| (45.00) | -45 | Parentheses: money out |
| 45.00- | -45 | Trailing minus: money out |
| 45.00 DR | -45 | DR is a debit, CR a credit |
| $1,000.00 | 1000 | Currency signs are dropped |
Special cases and common mistakes
- Password-protected statements open here once you type the password, all on your device.
- Scanned statements (photos or image-only PDFs) are not supported yet. Download the PDF from your bank’s app or website instead.
- Highlighted rows are where balances do not add up, usually a split description or an amount in the wrong column. Merge the row with the one above (⤒) or swap the debit and credit columns.
- Nothing from your statement is sent anywhere: no amounts, no names. We only count whether a conversion worked.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel?
Pick the statement file here, review the table that appears, then click Download Excel.

No. The file is read inside your browser and never uploaded. You can check by going offline after the page loads.
Which banks does it work with?
Text-based PDF statements with a header row such as Date, Description, Withdrawals, Deposits and Balance, which covers most US and Canadian bank downloads. Always review the table before downloading.
