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. 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. 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. 3

    Let it parse

    Sortlumo extracts and categorizes every transaction — a few seconds per statement.

  4. 4

    Export to Excel

    Open the account (or select all accounts) and choose Export. You'll get an .xlsx with date, description, merchant, category, and amount columns.

Password-protected PDF?

Many banks encrypt statement PDFs. Sortlumo will prompt for the password and unlock it — see Upload a password-protected PDF.

Note

If your statement is a scan or photo rather than a real text PDF, extraction may not work. See Supported banks & files.
