American Express statement formats we support
Our parser is layout-agnostic — whether your American Express statement is a native PDF download from online banking, a scan of a printed statement, or a photographed page, we extract every transaction.

American Express statement FAQ
Can I convert a password-protected American Express PDF?
No — please remove the password first (open the PDF, choose Save As, and save without password). This is a security safeguard rather than a technical limit.
How many pages of a American Express statement can I convert at once?
Single files up to 25 MB on the free tier. For multi-month or multi-year history, paid plans support batch uploads of multiple statements at once.
Is my American Express data safe here?
Yes. Files are encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit, processed in memory on our servers, and deleted within 24 hours. We never use your data to train AI models.
Does this work on scanned American Express statements?
Yes. OCR handles scanned PDFs and photographed statements alongside native (text-based) PDFs. Aim for 200 DPI or higher for best accuracy.
Can I import the American Express output into QuickBooks?
Yes. Export as QBO and QuickBooks Online or Desktop will import without column mapping or duplicates. Export as CSV for Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, Sage, and others.
