RowSmith

Convert a Bank Statement PDF on Mac, Chromebook or Linux

Many PDF converters are desktop programs for one operating system. RowSmith runs inside the browser, so any computer with a current browser can turn a statement into rows without installing anything.

Your file is never uploaded. RowSmith reads text-based PDF statements in your browser. Scanned PDFs aren't supported yet. Always review the rows before you use them.

Steps

  1. Open RowSmith in a current browser on your computer.
  2. Drag the statement PDF onto the box, or click it to choose the file.
  3. Review the preview table.
  4. Download CSV or Excel, which saves to your usual downloads folder.

Good to know

No install, no account

There's nothing to install and no sign-up. That makes it handy on a work laptop where you can't add software, or on a Chromebook that runs only web apps.

Nothing leaves your device

Conversion happens on your computer. Your statement file is not sent to our server, which matters most on shared office or public Wi-Fi.

Opening the result

A CSV opens in any spreadsheet program or text editor. The Excel file opens in desktop spreadsheet apps and most web-based ones.

Use a larger screen

Checking rows against the PDF is much easier with the two side by side, so a laptop or desktop screen works best.

Questions

Which browsers work?

Recent versions of the major desktop browsers. If the page doesn't load a preview, update your browser and try again.

Is the file kept anywhere after I close the tab?

No. Closing the tab clears the statement from the page.
