Scanned bank statement to Excel.
.xlsx built in your browser, 5 pages free.
Convert a scanned or photographed bank statement into an Excel workbook. A scan or a phone photo is read the same way as a digital PDF: the page image goes to a vision model, every row is re-added against the printed opening and closing balances, and a blurry, faded or skewed page shows up as a flagged row rather than a silent misread. Password-protected PDFs are unlocked in your browser first.

Step by step: scanned statement to Excel
- Scan at 300 dpi in greyscale on a flatbed if you can; if a phone is all you have, lay the page flat under even light and shoot straight on. Drop the image or the PDF here, up to 12 files of 60 pages each.
- If the PDF asks for a password, type it when prompted. The file is unlocked in your browser before anything is sent, and the password never leaves your device.
- Wait for the balance check. The page image is read by a vision model, then every row is re-added: opening balance plus money in minus money out must equal the printed closing balance, and the running balance must hold at every row in between.
- Look at any flagged row. A faded, skewed or blurry page shows up as the first row where the running balance breaks; compare it with the scan and correct the figure in the table, and the check re-runs.
- Click Excel. Amounts are numeric cells and dates are real dates, and the Summary sheet records the balance check and totals by category.
What usually goes wrong, and how this avoids it
- A scan rotated by two degrees looks fine to a person, but across a wide table the bottom rows shift enough to push a balance into the credit column. The running-balance check catches the row; re-scanning flat, with the scanner's deskew option, avoids it.
- Low-contrast thermal paper and faded faxes lose strokes: 8 reads as 3, 0 as C, whole rows vanish. Scan in greyscale at 300 dpi or more before the print fades further; once the contrast is gone, no software brings the strokes back, and a fresh copy from the bank is the honest answer.
- Phone photographs bring perspective distortion, shadow across the page and glare. The photo is still read, and the balance check still runs, but a flat, evenly lit page shot straight on gives fewer flagged rows.
- A "searchable PDF" from a scanner hides a text layer behind the image that carries whatever errors the scanner's OCR made. The image is read fresh here rather than trusting that layer.
Excel questions
Can I photograph the statement with my phone instead of scanning it?
Yes. A phone photo is accepted and read the same way as a scan or a digital PDF. Lay the page flat under even light, avoid shadows and glare, and shoot straight on rather than at an angle; the balance check will flag any row the photo made unreadable. Never photograph a screen.
Is a scan read as accurately as a digital PDF?
The same reader handles both, and the same arithmetic check runs afterwards: opening balance plus money in minus money out must equal the printed closing balance, row by row. A clean 300 dpi scan is usually indistinguishable from the bank's own PDF; a skewed, faded or blurry page produces flagged rows to look at rather than wrong numbers passed through.
The scanned PDF asks for a password.
Type it in the upload box. The file is unlocked in your browser before anything is uploaded and the password never leaves your device. If you would rather keep an unlocked copy, the free PDF password remover under Tools saves one on your own computer.
How many pages can I convert without an account?
