Convert bank statement PDF to Excel
Turn monthly bank statements from PDF into a workable Excel spreadsheet. Multi-page tables stitched together, dates and amounts as real numbers.
Bank statements are a frustrating format. The bank gives you a PDF of every transaction, but you can't sort by amount, filter by category, or pivot by month — because PDFs aren't spreadsheets. Manually retyping a year of transactions into Excel is a half-day of grim work, and copy-pasting from the PDF usually produces garbled single-column text that takes nearly as long to clean.
PDFOnly's PDF-to-Excel handles bank statements specifically well. Multi-page transaction tables get stitched into one continuous spreadsheet. Dates are recognized as Excel date values (so you can sort chronologically). Amounts come through as real numbers (so SUM, AVG, and pivot tables work immediately). Currency symbols and parenthesized negatives are properly typed. The result opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc as a usable dataset — ready for budget categorization, year-end totals, or fraud review.

Frequently asked questions
Will the dates parse as real Excel dates?
Yes — common date formats (MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, DD MMM YYYY, etc.) are detected and typed as Excel dates. You can immediately sort, filter, and use date functions like MONTH() or YEAR(). Unusual date formats sometimes need manual reformatting in the output.
What if my bank's PDF format is unusual?
We test against the most common US, EU, UK, and Canadian bank PDF layouts. Smaller regional banks or older statement formats may need spot-checking — verify a few rows match the source PDF before using the data for taxes or accounting.
Can I extract just one month from a multi-month statement?
Use Split PDF first to extract just that month's pages, then run PDF to Excel on the smaller PDF. Or extract the full statement and filter the resulting spreadsheet by date.
