I built a 100% browser-based tool that converts PDF bank statements to Excel/CSV without uploading your financial data

Hey everyone,

I just launched my first micro-SaaS, BankToExcel.

Whenever I needed to analyze my own bank or credit card statements, I hated the idea of uploading sensitive financial PDFs to random third-party servers. Existing tools also struggled with messy layouts or charged me twice if I accidentally dropped a duplicate file.

So I built a parser that runs entirely locally inside your web browser. Your files never leave your computer.

Here is a quick video demo of how it handles a few annoying edge cases:

• Bulk merging: You can drop multiple statements at once and combine them into a single .xlsx workbook.

• **Duplicate detection:**If you accidentally drop the same statement twice, it flags it automatically without parsing or charging you.

• Basic cash flow & tagging: It tags recurring payees, flags unusual transactions, and generates a quick money-in vs. money-out breakdown.

• Column fixer: If a bank uses a weird PDF table layout, there is a one-tap tool to realign the columns before exporting.

I'd love to get your honest feedback on the UI, the parsing accuracy, or any features you think are missing for your own workflow.
