How it works

• Accuracy

  How PDFCells checks its own output (running balances, footing, line totals) and what its OCR scored on a 44-page synthetic test corpus, with caveats.

• Privacy

  PDFCells converts PDFs in your browser. Exactly what is and isn’t sent, when, and how online converters compare for bank statements and client files.

In short

The PDF is opened and converted on your device. Nothing leaves the browser unless you choose an AI feature, and then only what that feature needs (exactly what is sent).

Reading the PDF text and OCR are free, need no account and run in your browser. AI reading is optional: signed-in users get 25 free AI pages a day on the Fast model, then prepaid credits at Anthropic's token cost plus 15% (packs of $10, $25, $50), or no markup with your own Anthropic API key.

One file can have up to 300 pages. A batch holds up to 200 files and 2,000 pages in all.
