Convert a bank statement PDF to CSV for free (in your browser)
"Free" converters often aren't really free — or really private. Here's how to get a clean CSV without paying, uploading, or signing up.
What "free" usually costs
When a site converts your statement for free, check what you're trading:
- Your data. Most free converters upload your PDF to their servers. A bank statement is sensitive — account numbers, balances, every transaction.
- A paywall at the finish line. Many let you convert, then ask you to pay or subscribe to actually download the result.
- An account. Email, verification, marketing emails forever.
A free CSV without the trade-offs
LINGYANG converts in your browser. The free version exports up to 10 transactions per file as CSV or Excel — with no upload and no signup. For most people checking a few transactions, or trying it before committing, that's all you need.
Try it now — convert and download a CSV, free.
Open the converter →Step by step
- Download the statement PDF from your bank (a text PDF, not a scan).
- Open the converter and drop it in — it reads the file locally.
- Check the detected rows; fix anything, untick what you don't want.
- Choose CSV and click Download. You get a file with
Date, Description, Amount, Balance.
What the CSV looks like
A clean, import-ready CSV with a header row and one row per transaction. Dates are normalised to a single format, and amounts are plain numbers (negative for money out) so spreadsheets and accounting tools read them correctly. See importing into QuickBooks/Xero.
When you'd want more
If you regularly convert long statements or several files at once, the paid version lifts the 10-row limit and adds batch conversion — but the free version is a real, working tool, not a teaser. Either way, your files never leave your device.
