Convert a statement PDF to Excel
The full path from a raw PDF to a categorized .xlsx file.
This is Sortlumo's most common job: take a statement PDF and get back a clean, categorized spreadsheet.
- 1
Download the statement from your bank
In your bank's website, find Statements & documents and download the period you want as a PDF.
- 2
Upload it to Sortlumo
Drag the PDF into the upload zone on your dashboard. Drop up to 10 at once to convert several periods in one go.
- 3
Let it parse
Sortlumo extracts and categorizes every transaction — a few seconds per statement.
- 4
Export to Excel
Open the account (or select all accounts) and choose Export. You'll get an
.xlsxwith date, description, merchant, category, and amount columns.
Many banks encrypt statement PDFs. Sortlumo will prompt for the password and unlock it — see Upload a password-protected PDF.
If your statement is a scan or photo rather than a real text PDF, extraction may not work. See Supported banks & files.
