PDF → clean CSV
Convert bank statements, invoices and receipts into CSV your software can actually import. UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel does not mangle a merchant's name, amounts as plain numbers, and every row tagged with the file and page it came from.
- An Excel file where the amounts are numbers you can sum — not text that looks like numbers.
- A category on every row, and foreign spend converted at the rate on the day you spent it.
- Or the file your software wants: OFX, a Xero or QuickBooks CSV, UBL XML for an ERP.

How it works
- 1
Drop the PDFs
One or sixty. Scans and photos work too — no text layer required.
- 2
It reads them
Every row transcribed as printed, with a category and a converted amount added.
- 3
Import it
One CSV, ready for your accounting package, your database, or a pandas script.
Encoding that does not break
UTF-8 with a byte-order mark. Without it Excel reads Kaufhaus Müller as Kaufhaus Müller, and a CSV you have to repair by hand is not a conversion.
Numbers stay numbers
No thousands separators, no currency symbols glued to the figure, no parentheses standing in for a minus sign. A column your code can sum on the first try.
Every row knows its source
Each line carries the file and page it came from, so a figure that looks wrong can be traced back to the document that produced it.
Questions people ask
- Can it read a scanned or photographed document?
- Yes. Scans and phone photos are read the way a person reads them — a crumpled receipt or a skewed scan still works, and there is no template to configure for each bank.
- What if one PDF holds many receipts?
- It splits them apart. Fifty receipts scanned into a single PDF become fifty rows; a twelve-page statement stays one document.
- Are the amounts real numbers in Excel?
- Yes. Amounts and balances arrive as numeric cells, so a column sums the moment you open the file.
- How are foreign currencies handled?
- Each amount is converted at the published rate for the date of that transaction — not today's rate. The rate and its date sit beside the figure so you can check it.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Convert a batch, pay once, download it. An account is only for a monthly page allowance.
- Does it work with QuickBooks and Xero?
- Yes. Alongside Excel, you can download a statement as OFX — the standard bank-data format both read — or as a ready-made CSV laid out the way each one expects: Date, Amount, Payee, Description, Reference for Xero, and the three-column Date, Description, Amount for QuickBooks, with money out already signed negative. Invoices and receipts can also come out as UBL XML for an ERP or an e-invoicing system.
