How do I convert a PDF bank statement into an Excel spreadsheet?

Simply drag and drop your bank or Cash App statement PDF into LedgerExtract. The browser parses all transaction dates, descriptions, debits, credits, and running balances in memory, allowing you to download a clean .XLSX or .CSV file in seconds.

Can I import Cash App statements into QuickBooks Online?

Yes. Cash App only provides PDF statements which QuickBooks Online cannot import natively. LedgerExtract converts your Cash App PDF into QuickBooks' standard 3-column signed CSV format (Date, Description, Amount) for seamless 1-click import.

Are my bank records stored on your servers?

No. LedgerExtract operates 100% client-side inside your web browser. Your statement files and financial data never leave your computer or touch an external database.

Which bank and payment formats are supported?

LedgerExtract supports Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, American Express, PayPal Activity Reports, Cash App statements, and scanned paper statements via vision OCR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about bank document conversion.

Why can't I just download a CSV directly from my bank? ▾

While live bank portals often allow direct CSV downloads for recent 90-day activity, bookkeepers and accountants rarely have direct portal logins for their clients. Furthermore, historical statements for tax catch-up or loan underwriting (older than 90–180 days) are archived strictly as PDF files.

How does LedgerExtract format files for QuickBooks Online? ▾

QuickBooks Online and Xero require a strict 3-column CSV: Date, Description, Amount. Outgoing expenses/debits must be negative numbers, and incoming deposits/credits must be positive numbers. LedgerExtract formats these signed values automatically so you can upload directly to QuickBooks without fixing column errors.

Is it safe to upload confidential client statements here? ▾

Yes. LedgerExtract executes 100% inside your browser session using Web Workers and in-memory streams. Your statement files, account numbers, and transaction balances are never stored, uploaded to external databases, or logged on remote servers.

Can this extract transactions from scanned or mobile phone photos? ▾

Yes. For scanned documents or mobile photos of paper statements, switch the Parser Mode toggle in the top bar to Gemini 1.5 Flash Vision. The vision engine visually reconstructs table columns even from skewed or low-lighting photos.
