Drop one PDF or multiple PDFs here

Works with digital PDFs, scans, and photos from banks worldwide - retail, business, and fintech. Multiple PDFs are automatically processed as one batch and exported as a ZIP with individual CSV files.

Problem and solution

Banks provide PDF statements while Lexware expects tabular import data. KontoCSV converts the PDF rows into a Lexware-ready format.

Lexware Buchhaltung (desktop) and Lexware Office (cloud) are different products with different import paths.

Which format Lexware expects

In desktop Lexware, import usually happens via "Buchungen importieren". Lexware Office follows a separate cloud upload flow.

Date;Voucher;Text;Account;ContraAccount;Amount;TaxCode 05.03.2026;RE-2051;Customer invoice;1200;8400;1190.00;19

Start with a test month to verify mapping in your exact setup.

Step by step Lexware import

  1. Upload PDF statement to KontoCSV.
  2. Select the Lexware profile and download the file.
  3. In Lexware Buchhaltung use "Buchungen importieren".
  4. In Lexware Office start the corresponding CSV upload flow.

FAQ

Does this support Lexware Buchhaltung and Lexware Office?

Yes, both paths are covered as practical CSV workflows. Check the import preview because desktop and cloud products use different import steps.

Where is the import in desktop Lexware?

In Lexware Buchhaltung, start with "Buchungen importieren" and map the CSV columns during the first test run.

Can I process several months together?

Yes. Convert complete statement periods, import them in order, and avoid overlapping date ranges to reduce duplicate risk.

Do I need manual separator fixes?

Usually no. Keep the exported structure stable and adjust the Lexware mapping instead of editing amounts in Excel.

What source PDFs are expected?

Regular bank statement PDFs with readable transaction rows and balances. Scanned PDFs need sufficient OCR quality.

Where can I compare DATEV and Lexware workflows?

Use the DATEV vs Lexware import comparison before choosing an export profile.
