01 / Why convert
A CSV is hard to read and print. This makes a clean, paginated transaction report with totals, labelled as a report and never as a bank statement.
02 / What carries over
From CSV to PDF, field by field.
What the CSV file can hold, and where it goes in the report.
| In the CSV file | In the report |
|---|---|
| Date | Kept |
| Amount (money in and out) | Kept |
| Payee or description | Kept |
| Memo (extra text) | Kept |
| Check or reference number | Kept |
| Running balance | The report has no place for it |
| Account number | Not in a CSV file |
| Currency | Kept |
| Category | The report has no place for it |
| Credit card (not a bank account) | Not in a CSV file |
03 / Opening it
Reading and printing the report.
Any computer or phone
- Open it in any PDF viewer, or print it.
- Every page is headed “Transaction report” and says it is not a bank statement.
04 / The CSV file
Getting a CSV file.
Plain text, one transaction per line, values separated by commas (or semicolons, tabs or pipes). Every bank uses its own columns.
- Online banking: Transactions, then Download or Export, then CSV (sometimes called “comma separated” or “spreadsheet”).
- Card and money apps (Amex, Monzo, Revolut, Starling and the like) export CSV from their statements screen.
Have a bank statement PDF instead? The bank statement converter reads it in your browser too.
05 / Good to know
The details that matter.
- Columns are matched by their headings, or by what is in them when there are none. They are shown before you download, and a wrong guess is one click to change.
- When the file has a balance column, every row is checked against it, and an “Opening balance” row becomes the opening balance.
- If money out is written as positive amounts (American Express does this), tick the swap box.
- Dates like 03/04/2026 can mean March or April. The order is worked out from the file (a day over 12 decides it), and you can switch it when nothing does.
- The report never looks like a bank statement: it is titled “Transaction report”, says on every page that it is not a bank statement, shows only the last 4 digits of the account number, and has no bank name or balance boxes.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this CSV to PDF converter free?
Yes, for 2 files a day with no account. A free account (just your email, no password) gives you 2 more, and paid plans have no daily limit. It runs in your browser, and nothing is stored.
Is my CSV file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the PDF file is written by code running in this browser tab. Neither is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and convert a file.
Is the PDF a bank statement?
No, and it is made so it can’t pass for one. It is a transaction report: titled as such, marked “Not a bank statement. Not issued by a bank.” on every page, with no bank name, logo or balance boxes, and only the last 4 digits of the account number.
My CSV file has different column names. Will it work?
Yes. Columns are matched by their headings in English and several other languages, or by their contents when there are no headings. You see the match before downloading and can change any column. Single amount columns, separate money in/out columns, and Dr/Cr markers all work.
