Normally, selectable PDF text is read directly. Use OCR if that text is incomplete or garbled. Images always use OCR. Files are not uploaded.

Paste receipt text instead

This is useful when you have already copied the text or the browser cannot run the scan reader. Paste one receipt at a time.

Receipts and corrections stay in this page's memory. Reloading or closing the page clears the draft. OCR downloads its reading files from this site when first needed.

How it works

Receipt to Excel in three steps

Add your receipts

Drag receipt photos or PDFs onto the panel, or pick them from your device. Up to 10 files, one receipt per image or PDF page. They are read in your browser and never uploaded.

Check each receipt against its source

The receipt sits beside the fields read from it: merchant, date, currency, subtotal, tax, tip, total and the item rows. Correct anything that was misread, then confirm that you checked it.

Download Excel or CSV

Once every receipt is marked as reviewed, download an Excel workbook with Receipts and Items sheets, real date cells and numeric amount cells, or a CSV with one row per receipt.

Make the figures useful, not just visible

A receipt pasted into a worksheet is still a picture. This tool reads the text and maps it to fields you can edit, so you can correct the merchant, pick the date, name the currency and check the amounts while the receipt stays beside the form.

For a table that already exists in a report, PDF to Excel is the better fit, and a bank statement has its own page: convert a bank statement PDF to Excel keeps every transaction in one table and checks the balances. For text you want to copy without building a spreadsheet, use Image to Text. Need to issue a receipt rather than read one? The Receipt Generator makes a payment receipt PDF.

The guide to turning scanned receipts into an editable spreadsheet walks through a worked example, the column layout and the checks to make before importing anything into your records.

Frequently asked questions about Receipt to Excel

What happens to my file?

Nothing is uploaded. The receipt reader runs in your browser and downloads its reading files from this site the first time it is needed. There is no server fallback for your receipts in this tool.

What can I import?

Up to 10 PDF, JPG or PNG files, each no larger than 25 MB. A batch can hold no more than 10 PDF pages in total. Use one receipt per image or PDF page. Scans are read in English.

Will every character and amount be correct?

Not always. Faint printing, folds, shadows and crowded columns can produce reading errors. Compare each receipt with its source and confirm your review before exporting.

Does the spreadsheet contain a picture of the receipt?

No. The export holds editable fields, real date cells and numeric amount cells. The Excel file has a Receipts sheet and a separate Items sheet. The CSV has one summary row per receipt.

Can I keep the words in their receipt positions?

Yes. Review the positioned text boxes, correct missing words or positions and download the separate layout workbook. It uses editable text cells and includes a position audit. Fonts, logos and paper texture are not reproduced, and spreadsheet apps can render text differently.

Does this convert currencies or decide the tax treatment?

No. Currency and amounts are recorded as they appear on the receipt. The tool does not convert currencies, work out what you can claim or update your accounting records.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 50 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing. Pro removes the limits.

Do I need to create an account?

No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your allowance and lets you see what you have processed.
