Receipt to Excel
Receipt to Excel does everything Receipt to CSV does, but delivers a real .xlsx workbook instead of a flat CSV. You get a summary sheet plus a line-item sheet — formatted, with the numbers stored as numbers, ready for bookkeeping.
When to use it
Choose Excel over CSV when the file is going into an accounting workflow: monthly bookkeeping, client expense reports, or tax prep where your accountant expects a workbook. The summary sheet gives you store, date, category hints, subtotal, tax, and total at a glance; the line-item sheet holds every purchased item in its own row.
How to use it
- Open Receipt to Excel and upload your receipt photo (JPG, PNG, HEIC) or scanned PDF.
- Let the tool extract the data — this takes a few seconds.
- Check the on-screen preview of both sheets.
- Download the .xlsx file. One job = one document of quota.
What the output looks like
A genuine Excel workbook with two sheets. Summary holds merchant name, address, receipt date and time, payment method if shown, subtotal, tax, tip, and total. Line items holds one row per item with description, quantity, and price. Amounts are numeric cells, so SUM formulas work immediately.
Good to know
- The workbook opens in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Numbers — it's a standard .xlsx, not a renamed CSV.
- Because amounts are real numbers, you can pivot, filter, and sum without any cleanup in most cases.
- Same accuracy rules as the CSV version: flat, well-lit, straight-down photos extract best.
- Restaurant receipts with handwritten tips: the printed portion extracts reliably; add the tip yourself.
- Processing a multi-page scan? Each page is read, but verify items weren't duplicated across page boundaries.
