Built around a visible result
The sensitive conversion path stays local
StatementForge does not hide extraction behind a black box. The transaction table, warnings, totals, and destination format stay visible so you can decide whether the result is usable.
- The PDF and pasted statement text are read in the browser
- OCR text, transaction rows, edits, amounts, and balances stay in the workspace
- CSV, XLSX, JSON, QBO, OFX, and QIF contents are generated locally
- Hosting, authentication, billing, and anonymous product events use separate network requests
A review-first workflow

Honest operating limits
Financial files still deserve a human check.
- Statement contents are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to StatementForge servers.
- Account and billing features use a backend, but conversion files stay local.
- You should still download and store exports according to your own privacy and bookkeeping process.
Where this workflow fits
Use the converter for a defined job.
Client work
Reduce exposure when handling financial documents from clients.
Internal finance teams
Create structured exports without sending PDFs to a generic conversion service.
Practical questions
Privacy questions
Are bank statements uploaded to StatementForge?
No. Statement contents are processed in the browser for conversion.
What does the backend do?
The backend handles account, billing, and usage logic, not statement file conversion.
What happens when I close the tab?
The in-browser workspace is cleared unless you have exported the data first.
Can I use it for sensitive documents?
It is designed for privacy-first conversion, but you should still follow your own document handling requirements.
