Convert a Discover statement to CSV
Discover card statements already show a category per purchase, but the PDF layout resists copy-paste. This rebuilds it as a clean CSV with dates, descriptions, and signed amounts for bookkeeping or expense reports.
Why Discover statements are annoying to convert by hand
Discover prints its own category column; the converter maps it onto a consistent category set across all your accounts. You get one tidy ledger instead of fighting merged cells, split columns, and reference codes in a spreadsheet.
- 1. Drop in your Discover statement PDF above.
- 2. Every transaction is extracted, cleaned, and categorized.
- 3. Download a CSV that's ready for Excel, Sheets, or your accounting tool.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my Discover statement uploaded anywhere?
- Your PDF is processed in memory to extract the transactions and is not stored. Nothing is saved after the CSV is generated.
- Does it work with scanned Discover statements?
- Yes. Text-based PDFs and scanned/image PDFs both work — the extractor reads the page visually when there's no selectable text.
- What columns are in the CSV?
- Date, Description, Amount (signed — negative for money out, positive for money in), Category, and Balance when the statement shows one.
- Can I import the CSV into QuickBooks, Xero, or Excel?
- Yes. The CSV is plain and spreadsheet-ready, so it opens in Excel or Google Sheets and maps cleanly into accounting tools.
