Upload the PDF, the tool detects every table across every page, and each table is exported as its own UTF-8 CSV file. If the PDF has multiple tables you get a ZIP archive of CSVs — one per table — so you can drop them straight into separate sheets, databases or BI tools without slicing them manually.
usageEach detected table becomes its own CSV in a ZIP download — for example bank-statement-q1.csv, bank-statement-q2.csv and so on. Tables that span multiple pages with the same header are stitched into a single CSV automatically, so continuation rows do not create duplicate files.
featuresYes. The CSV output is RFC-4180 compliant with UTF-8 encoding and CRLF line endings, which every modern spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, Airtable) and BI tool (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Metabase) imports without configuration prompts. Drop the file and start analyzing immediately.
technicalSingle-level merged headers are flattened intelligently — the merged cell value is repeated across the columns it spanned, so each row has a complete set of columns. Sub-header rows are detected and either inlined as a prefix or left as a separate row depending on your preference setting before download.
technicalYes. Currency symbols ($, €, £, ¥, ₹), date formats (any locale), percentages and Unicode characters (accented letters, Chinese, Arabic, emojis) survive the conversion intact. Quoting and escaping follow the CSV spec, so importing into Postgres, MySQL or SQLite preserves the data faithfully.
featuresUploads are deleted within 24 hours — unless you explicitly share a result, which keeps it at a public link anyone who has it can open for up to 30 days — never used for training, never shared. The CSV output has no watermark, no attribution column, no tracking pixel — it is plain data extracted from your own file: You keep ownership of the files you upload and the results you create — we claim no rights in them. Use it for ETL pipelines, CRM imports and sales-pipeline analysis.
privacyYes — every detected table opens in an editable grid before download, so you can click any cell to correct an OCR misread, add a missing row with the + button, or delete a row that shouldn't be there. Your edits are what gets written into the final CSV, not the raw extraction.
featuresAmber marks cells the OCR engine was 80% confident or less about, so you know exactly which numbers or words to double-check before trusting the export. Editing a flagged cell clears its highlight, while untouched cells keep the warning until you've reviewed them.
qualityYes — click Reset to discard every manual edit and restore the table exactly as it was first extracted from the PDF, without re-uploading the file. This is the fastest way to back out of a correction pass that went wrong.
usageThe editable verify grid only appears when a PDF produces a single table; as soon as more than one table is detected, the tool packages them straight into a ZIP of separate CSVs with no inline review step, since there is no single grid left to show. If you need to check numbers before trusting them, open each CSV in a spreadsheet first, or use PDF Split to isolate one table's pages and re-run just that page range through PDF to CSV to get the verify-grid treatment.
featuresStart the conversion and review the extracted table before signing up, then create a free account to continue and download it. Free accounts have a daily extraction allowance because table extraction uses OCR; Premium removes that daily cap.
pricingScan the grid row by row for the classic OCR slips — a merged column, a dropped decimal, a stray header line picked up as data — since those are the mistakes most likely to throw off a reconciliation. Use Add row to restore a line the detector merged or skipped, Delete row to drop stray header or footer text read in as a row, and Reset if a correction pass goes wrong and you'd rather start over from the original extraction. Only download once the grid matches the statement, so the CSV that reaches QuickBooks or Xero is already clean.
tipsNo — there is no such preference control anywhere in the tool; sub-header detection and placement is fully automatic and cannot be switched by the user, despite what some site copy implies. If the automatic result puts a sub-header in the wrong place, use the editable verify grid (shown for single-table results) to fix or delete that row with the cell editor, Add row or Delete row before downloading, or adjust the CSV afterward in a spreadsheet.
technicalYes — preview extracted tables before signup, then create a free account to download the unbranded CSV output and use the signed-in free allowance. Every table is extracted in one pass.
pricingUpload the statement PDF and the converter locates each transaction table and exports it as its own CSV file, bundled together in a zip. Open a CSV in Excel or Google Sheets and the dates, descriptions and amounts land in separate columns, ready for sorting, filtering or reconciliation — far faster than retyping a month of transactions by hand.
usageYes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 PDFs on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every PDF is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.
featuresYes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 PDFs on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
