Other ways to convert a bank statement

Privacy

Private by design: your statement never leaves your device

Most online bank statement converters upload your PDF to a server. This one does not. The statement is read by your own browser, so your name, account number and every payment stay on your device. The PDF reader (PDF.js, an open source library) is loaded from FileXL when you add a PDF, and your file is never sent anywhere. You can watch the network tab of your browser to check, or turn off your internet once the reader has loaded.

Need to send a file to someone? Upload it with FileXL and share a link. The limit of this tool is scanned statements: a photo of a page has no text to read, and reading it needs OCR on a server, which would mean uploading it.

FAQ

PDF bank statement to Excel questions, answered

Why does the Excel file have real dates and numbers?

Because the tool reads the date and each amount and writes them as Excel dates and numbers, not as text. Sorting, filtering and SUM work straight away.

Can I convert a PDF bank statement to Excel without uploading it?

Yes. That is how this tool works. The PDF is read by your browser and is never sent to FileXL.

Is my bank statement uploaded to a server?

No. The statement is read by your own browser. The PDF reader is loaded to your device when you add a PDF, and after that nothing about your statement is sent anywhere. Account numbers, names and transactions never reach FileXL. You can check this in your browser tools: after the PDF reader has loaded, you can turn off your internet and the conversion still works.

How accurate is the conversion?

Bank statements are laid out in many different ways, so no converter can promise a perfect result for every bank. That is why this tool shows the rows before you download them and checks each balance. A row that does not add up is flagged. Compare the first and last rows with the statement, fix any cell by clicking it, and keep the original PDF.

Can it convert a scanned or photographed statement?

No. A scan is a picture of a page and has no text to read. This tool does not do OCR. Download the statement again from online banking as a PDF, or ask your bank for a CSV or a digital copy.

What does the balance check mean?

When a statement prints a running balance, the tool adds each amount to the previous balance and compares the result with the printed one. A tick means they match. A warning means that row, or one just before it, was read wrongly or is missing. It is the quickest way to find a mistake.

Is this bank statement to Excel converter really free?

Yes. You can convert as many statements as you like without paying, without an account and without a watermark. A small advertisement may be shown on the page. Premium members of FileXL do not see it.
