Question 1

Is it safe to convert my bank statement online?

Accepted Answer

With stmtify, yes — it's the safest way to do it. Your PDF is never uploaded: all processing happens locally in your browser, so your financial data never touches a server. Most other converters upload your statement and rely on deletion policies; stmtify has nothing to delete.

Question 2

How do I convert a PDF bank statement to Excel?

Accepted Answer

Drop your PDF bank statement onto stmtify, let it detect the transactions in your browser, and review them in the editable table. When everything looks right, click “Download Excel (.xlsx)”. It's a free bank statement to Excel converter that works with any bank and never uploads your file.

Question 3

How do I convert a PDF bank statement to CSV?

Accepted Answer

Upload your statement, review the detected transactions, and choose “Download CSV”. The CSV imports straight into Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Xero, or your own scripts. Converting a PDF bank statement to CSV is free and happens entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Question 4

Is there a free PDF to Excel converter for bank statements?

Accepted Answer

Yes — stmtify is a free PDF to Excel converter built specifically for bank statements. There's no signup, no page limit, and no watermark, and unlike most online converters it never sends your statement to a server.

Question 5

Is this bank statement converter really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's free to use, with no signup, no email, and no watermarks.

Question 6

Does it work with scanned bank statement PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in beta. Scanned pages are detected automatically and read with built-in OCR (optical character recognition), including automatic deskew and image cleanup — still entirely in your browser. OCR accuracy is not yet reliable for every statement, so always review the extracted transactions in the table before downloading. Digital (text-based) PDFs are fully supported.

Question 7

Which banks are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any bank. stmtify uses a generic parser that works with statements listing transactions with dates, amounts, and a running balance — it isn't limited to a fixed list of banks. Digital statements in German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese are supported too, including European date and amount formats like 1.234,56.

Question 8

Can I convert a password-protected bank statement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter the PDF password when prompted and the statement is decrypted locally in your browser — the password is never sent anywhere.

Question 9

What formats can I download?

Accepted Answer

Excel (.xlsx) with proper date and number formatting, or CSV for importing into accounting software, Google Sheets, or your own scripts.
