Receipt Scanning Tips

💡

Flatten the Receipt

Smooth out wrinkles and curls. Place on a flat, dark surface for contrast. A dark desk or folder works great.

📷

Good Lighting

Avoid flash glare. Use even lighting — overhead light or natural daylight. Shadows reduce accuracy.

📈

Full Receipt in Frame

Capture the entire receipt including store name, date, items, and total. Crop tight but include everything.

What You Can Extract

Itemized Details

Store name, address, phone number. Individual line items with descriptions and prices. Subtotals, tax, tips, and grand totals.

For Expense Reports

Date and time of purchase. Payment method. Transaction ID. Copy everything into your spreadsheet or expense tracking app.

Receipt Scanner FAQ

Can I scan receipts directly from my phone camera?
Yes! On mobile, the upload button activates your camera. Take a photo directly and it processes immediately. For desktop, take a photo with your phone and upload it.
Does it work with faded thermal receipts?
Faded receipts are challenging. For best results, photograph before they fade further. The desktop app's multi-pass OCR with contrast enhancement handles faded text better than the online tool.
Can I process multiple receipts at once?
Use our Batch OCR tool to process multiple receipt photos at once and get all text in a single output.
Is my receipt data private?
100%. The OCR runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your receipt images are never uploaded to any server. The desktop app is fully offline.
