Read a digital bank statement or tabular PDF in Sift and see what the browser was able to extract.

Source reviewed Product documentation

Open Sift's tool. Choose Bank statement for a statement with transaction and running-balance columns. Choose Any table for a different tabular PDF. Then Drop a PDF here, or click to choose. The limit shown on the page is PDF · up to 20 MB · read on your device.

Sift reads the PDF locally. The result shows the source name, row count, page count and mode. For a statement, the extracted columns usually need to agree with the printed date, description, debit, credit and balance. If a PDF contains several tables, select the table tab you need.

If Sift reports No tables found, try Any table or check whether the PDF is a scan. When pages have no text layer, Sift marks how many look scanned; OCR for scanned statements is unavailable in this browser tool. Digital pages in the same PDF may still be extracted. Do not assume missing scanned rows are included in an Excel download.
