pdftoexcel
Reconciled bank statement PDFs → Excel, scans included
Most bank-PDF converters (and ChatGPT uploads) extract text but never check the math. pdftoexcel reconciles every export against the running balance — if rows don't sum to ending minus starting, you see 'unverified' instead of a silently broken XLSX. Now with scanned-PDF support (vision OCR + same reconciliation check). Built for forensic accountants, bookkeepers, and attorneys. 75+ US/UK/CA banks. Free 15 pages/month, no card required.
A friend asked me to "just convert these bank statements to Excel" for a divorce discovery packet. I tried three commercial tools plus ChatGPT.
Every one produced files that looked correct — until I ran a sum and the totals didn't match the ending balance printed on the statement. Silent sign errors. Dropped rows. Duplicated cents.
Plausible output, embarrassing in court.
The insight: every bank statement carries its own integrity check — the running balance. If the sum of transactions doesn't equal (ending − starting) within a penny, something went wrong in extraction.
That check is ~20 lines of Python. Direct-LLM converters don't do it because they couldn't pass it architecturally — they'd fail on most uploads.
So pdftoexcel does exactly that:
- Bank PDF (digital or scanned) → XLSX / CSV / QBO
- Every export reconciled against the running balance
- If the math doesn't close, you see "unverified" instead of a silently broken file
- 75+ US, UK, and Canada banks via pdfplumber fast-path; scans + trickier statements via Gemini Vision — same reconciliation check either way
- Free for 15 pages/month, no card required
Built for forensic accountants, divorce attorneys, bookkeepers, auditors — people who need to stand behind the numbers in front of someone who'll actually check them.
Would love feedback — especially:
- Ever been burned by a silent transcription error on a bank PDF? What broke?
- A bank we don't cover yet that you'd want supported?
Happy to answer anything. Thanks for taking a look 🙏
