American Express Statement to Excel Converter
Turn a American Express PDF statement into a clean Excel, CSV, QuickBooks (.qbo) or OFX file — with every row checked against the running balance. Free, no signup, and unlike every other PDF converter, nothing is uploaded: it's read by your browser's own PDF engine, on your machine.
.pdf only — text-based statements, not scans
Where to get your American Express statement
American Express statements are downloaded from your Amex online account or the Amex app, generally under a statements or documents section, as a PDF. Amex is best known for its charge and credit cards, and its online account center has long included a direct "Download" option for card activity that produces OFX, QFX, QBO or CSV files aimed at Quicken and QuickBooks users, separate from the formal monthly PDF statement.
Prefer American Express's own export when you can get one
Reach for that built-in download ahead of converting the PDF — it's exact data straight from Amex, already shaped for accounting software. A CSV file still converts to Excel, QBO or OFX on CSV → QBO, and OFX/QFX files generally import as-is. This page is for the PDF statement itself, useful outside the download window or when a plain spreadsheet is all you need.

Nothing about your American Express statement is uploaded
No part of your American Express statement leaves your device. The PDF is read locally by JavaScript running in your browser tab, not by a server — this page has no upload endpoint to send it to, and a quick look at your browser's network tab while converting will show no such request. It even keeps working offline once loaded. Details: privacy page.
How this tool reads a American Express PDF statement
PDF statements store text at page coordinates, not in a table, so the parser reconstructs rows by grouping text fragments that share a line and reading them left to right. Lines that repeat on every page — headers, footers — are dropped, wrapped description lines are merged back onto the row above, and every way of writing a negative number is folded into one signed Amount column. Whatever number sits last on a row is kept aside as the running balance rather than added into your totals.
Frequently asked questions
Does American Express offer OFX or CSV instead of PDF?
Yes — the Amex online account center has a "Download" option for card activity that produces OFX, QFX, QBO or CSV files, built for direct import into Quicken or QuickBooks, in addition to the monthly PDF statement. Use that direct export when you have it; a CSV file also converts to Excel, QBO or OFX on CSV → QBO. This page is for the PDF statement itself.
Is my American Express statement really not uploaded anywhere?
Correct, nowhere. The conversion runs entirely client-side, in the tab your American Express statement is opened in, with no server component backing this page. Your browser's own network tab will confirm it — watch it while converting and no request will carry the file out.
Why might some American Express transaction rows be missing or wrong?
This converter has no American Express-specific template; it works purely from where text sits on the page, which covers most statement designs but won't catch every edge case. Use the preview table and the balance-check panel to confirm the result before relying on it, and check that your source PDF has selectable text rather than being a scanned image if rows look wrong.
