Bank statement PDF to Excel

How do you convert a bank statement to Excel?

Converting a bank statement to Excel means turning the transaction table inside the statement PDF back into an editable spreadsheet — date, description, amount and balance, each in its own column. StatementSift reads the positioned text in the PDF, splits it into rows and columns by coordinate, works out what each column is, and exports .xlsx / CSV / QBO. The key point: this is financial data, so everything happens locally in your browser — the file is never uploaded or sent to any external AI — and it reconciles each row (“previous balance + this amount = this balance”), flagging anything that doesn’t add up so you catch a missed or misread line. It also flags likely duplicates — rows that repeat the same date, amount and description — so a double-posted charge doesn’t slip into your books. Honestly, text-based PDFs downloaded from online banking convert most accurately; verify scans and unusual layouts against the balance check.
