About Microsoft Excel workbook (.xlsx)

A bank statement PDF locks your transactions inside a fixed page layout — copy-paste corrupts columns, dates run into descriptions, and negative amounts get lost. Convert Bank Statements extracts every row with column-aware parsing, normalises dates to your locale, splits debits and credits, and rebuilds the running balance so it reconciles to the statement's closing balance to the cent. The output is a native .xlsx file with typed cells (dates are real dates, numbers are real numbers), a summary sheet with totals by month and category, and formulas you can pivot immediately.

Why bookkeepers pick Convert Bank Statements for Excel

  • Every transaction validated — dates, amounts, running balance reconciled before export.
  • Category auto-tagging so Excel imports arrive pre-coded, not stuck in Uncategorized.
  • Multi-page and scanned PDFs handled with OCR — no need to re-key anything.
  • Zero setup: no bank IDs, no direct-connect fees, no waiting on Intuit approvals.

FAQs

How accurate is PDF-to-Excel conversion for bank statements?

For digital (text-based) PDFs from supported banks we reconcile to the statement's closing balance in 99%+ of cases. Scanned PDFs go through OCR with layout detection; a Preview step lets you spot-fix any row before download.

Will the dates and amounts be real Excel values, not text?

Yes — dates export as native Excel date cells and amounts as numbers with the correct sign, so SUMIF, filters and pivot tables work out of the box.

Can I convert multiple months into one Excel file?

Yes. Upload multiple PDFs and we merge them into one workbook, deduplicating any overlapping days by amount, date and description.

Do you support Excel-compatible formats like Google Sheets and Numbers?

The .xlsx we produce opens natively in Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice Calc and older Excel versions (2007+). For plain tabular output, use CSV instead.

Is the free tier enough for personal use?

Yes — 15 statements per day, up to 200 transactions each. Paid plans lift the transaction ceiling and add batch processing.
