Plainsum presents browser tools for converting bank statements, redacting or comparing PDFs, compressing video to a target size, and organizing AI chats.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-04 issue.

For: People handling statements, PDFs, videos, or AI chat exports
Worth noticing: The statement tool requires selectable PDF text; the PDF page says users must check every page because names and addresses are not auto-detected.

Field notes

The statement converter is described as requiring selectable text, so scanned statements are not supported yet. Its sample shows rows being totaled against a closing balance before export. PDF redaction is manual on the free tier, and the page explicitly leaves the final check for names and addresses to the user. The site lists browser WebCodecs support as a requirement for video compression and describes network restrictions for its tool pages.
