Convert PDF bank statements to Excel and CSV from a Chrome side panel. No separate web app to open, no account to create, balance reconciliation on every conversion.
Almost every other bank statement converter is a web app. You open a new tab, upload, wait, download, switch tabs back. Bank2XL lives in the side panel of the tab you are already on, including the bank's own download page. The PDF goes from the bank to the extension panel without you opening anything else.
For the rest of the workflow we use the same backend as the web converter: TLS upload, in-memory processing, optional 24h debug copy that you can opt out of per upload.
Same engine as the homepage: vision AI extraction with a balance-reconciliation post-check. The extension just gives it a more direct workflow.
Open the panel from the toolbar; it stays pinned next to the page. Drop the PDF, get Excel and CSV back without leaving the tab.
Every account is scored against the statement's own opening and closing balance. A green pill means the math matches; a yellow pill means you see the delta before you import.
The panel is available on every tab. The extension does not read page content; the only thing sent to our backend is the file you drop in.
10 conversions a day, every day, daily quota resets. No signup, no credits that expire, nothing to cancel later.
Drop in a photo of a paper statement or a low-quality scan. The Datalab Chandra OCR path runs automatically when needed.
By default a 24h encrypted debug copy is kept to investigate failed extractions. Tick the "no retention" box per upload and nothing is written to disk after processing.
| Bank2XL extension | Typical web converter | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | Side panel of the tab you are already on | Separate web app you open in a new tab |
| Steps to convert | Open panel » drop PDF » Excel back in panel | Open site » sign in » upload » wait » download |
| Page content access | None; only the PDF you drop in | N/A (no extension to talk about) |
| Free tier | 10 conversions / day, no card, daily reset | Often a trial that requires a card, or a tiny page allowance |
| Reconciliation | On every conversion, in the panel | Rarely surfaced; usually a higher-tier feature |
No. The extension opens in a side panel inside Chrome. You drop a PDF into the panel; Bank2XL processes it through our backend over TLS and returns the Excel and CSV directly in the panel. There is no separate web-app UI you visit.
The side panel is available on every tab. The extension does not read or scrape page content; the only data sent to our backend is the PDF you drop in yourself.
The extension targets Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera) today. Firefox and Safari versions are not on the immediate roadmap.
Yes, free during beta with a daily quota of 10 conversions per install. No card on file, no signup, no credits that expire. We want to measure real accuracy across a long tail of bank templates before we pick a price.
It goes over TLS to our backend, processed in memory, and a 24h encrypted debug copy is kept by default so we can investigate failed extractions. You can opt out per upload to skip retention entirely. See Data retention and the Privacy policy.
Free during beta: 10 conversions a day, no card on file, no signup. Chrome Web Store review in progress; we will email you the install link as soon as it is approved.
