How to convert a PDF bank statement to CSV
Need your PDF statement as a spreadsheet? Ledgerfeed pulls the transactions out of a text-based PDF and gives you a clean CSV — locally, with nothing uploaded.
Bank statements often arrive as PDFs, but you need a CSV for a spreadsheet, QuickBooks Online, or another tool. Ledgerfeed reads the transaction table from a text-based PDF and exports CSV (and .QBO/.OFX/.QIF).
Steps
- Open the converter and drop your PDF statement in.
- Review the extracted dates, descriptions and amounts in the preview.
- Download as CSV (3-column or 4-column) — or another format.
Text vs scanned: this works on PDFs whose text you can select. Scanned/photographed statements are images and can't be read reliably — the tool tells you if a PDF looks scanned. Related: PDF statement to QuickBooks.
FAQ
What if my PDF is a scan?
Scanned/image PDFs have no selectable text and can't be converted reliably. Use a CSV/Excel export from your bank instead.
Is anything uploaded?
No — the PDF is read entirely in your browser.
