# Scanned bank statement to Excel

AI Converter can use OCR fallback for scanned or image-heavy bank statement PDFs when configured. The output is CSV that opens in Excel, not a guaranteed native Excel workbook.

## Workflow

1. Upload the scanned PDF.
2. Check sample rows before payment.
3. Unlock the full CSV when the preview is useful.
4. Open the CSV in Excel and review every row before important use.

## Limits

OCR is sensitive to scan quality. Blurry pages, shadows, cut-off columns, handwriting, password protection, corruption, or unusual layouts may fail.

Low-confidence conversions should fail closed instead of inventing rows.
