Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF bank statement to JSON?
Upload your PDF via the tool above or our REST API. The converter automatically extracts all transactions and returns structured JSON. No account needed — it's completely free.
Is there a REST API for automated PDF to JSON conversion?
Yes. See our API documentation for authentication, endpoints, rate limits, and code examples in Python, JavaScript, and cURL.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Our 4-tier parser handles digital PDFs (instant), scanned PDFs via OCR (15–30 seconds), and poor-quality scans via advanced OCR as a last resort.
Is the JSON schema consistent across different banks?
Yes. Regardless of which bank's PDF is uploaded, the output JSON always uses the same field names and structure. This makes integration straightforward — you write your parser once.
Can I use this for bulk processing in my application?
Yes. Our API supports bulk processing. For high-volume use cases (enterprise, lending platforms), contact us for dedicated API access and higher rate limits.
Is my financial data secure?
All files are processed on secure servers, transferred over HTTPS, and automatically deleted after 24 hours. We never store, sell, or share your financial data.
