Photographed or scanned bank statements are just images — you cannot search them, copy transactions, or extract data. CleanStmt converts your scanned bank statement images into clean, searchable PDF files with extracted text. Upload a photo or scan, and the tool uses OCR to recognize all transaction text, then exports a structured PDF where every transaction is searchable and copyable. Perfect for archiving statements, building digital records, or preparing files for accountants.
