How it works

How AI Receipt Scanning Works

The receipt scanning app takes three steps to turn a paper or digital receipt into a saved, searchable business expense.

  1. Step 1

    Snap a photo or upload your receipt

    Point your phone camera at a paper receipt, or upload a JPG, PNG or PDF. Receipts that arrive by email can be forwarded in instead.

  2. Step 2

    AI reads and categorizes every detail

    The scanner fills in the vendor, date, total, tax and line items and suggests a category. Review the details before saving and correct any field that needs it.

  3. Step 3

    Search, track and export anytime

    Each receipt is saved with its image. Find it later by merchant, category, tag, date or amount, then export expense and tax reports in PDF or Excel.

Manage Receipt upload options: take a receipt photo, upload from gallery or add manually

Receipt details

What the Receipt Scanner Captures

The receipt scanner reads the vendor, date, total, tax, payment method and individual line items from each receipt, then suggests an expense category, so it shows up in your expense tracker by category and month. The original image stays attached, so every expense has proof behind it without anything being typed in by hand.

No scanner is right every time. A crumpled receipt photographed in poor light can produce a wrong amount or date, so the details are shown before saving and any field can be corrected.

Scan Any Receipt, Any Way

Paper and faded receipts

Fuel, hardware and restaurant receipts are printed on thermal paper that fades with heat and light. Scan them when you get them and the record stays readable after the paper doesn't.

PDFs and images

A scanner for receipts and documents: upload JPG, PNG or PDF receipts, supplier invoices and utility bills, including screenshots, into the same list.

Email receipts

Forward online orders, software subscriptions and supplier invoices to your Manage Receipt address. Learn more about email receipts.

Any currency

Scan receipts from business trips or foreign suppliers and the total is converted to your home currency. Learn more about multi-currency expenses.

Organize

A Receipt Scanner and Organizer in One App

A folder full of receipt photos is still hard to search. Manage Receipt organizes each receipt after the scan, so a month of spending is easy to find, group and hand over.

Search and filter in seconds

Find a receipt by merchant, category, tag, date or amount, instead of digging through paper or your camera roll.

Tags for jobs, projects and clients

Add your own tags, up to five per receipt. Tag by job, client, project or property and filter by that tag later.

Cloud backup

Receipts are backed up to your account, so your records survive a lost or replaced phone.

Review everything on the web app

Sign in from your browser to upload receipts by drag and drop, one at a time or up to 15 in a batch, then filter them and export reports on a full screen.

For small business

Receipt Scanner for Small Business

Most small business receipts are lost in the gap between the purchase and the bookkeeping. Scanning closes it.

Daily purchases

Materials, fuel and supplies are bought on the move. Scan each receipt at the counter and it's categorized before you're back in the van.

Receipts from several people

When more than one person spends for the business, the receipts arrive in pieces. Everything scanned lands in one searchable list instead of three phones.

Records for tax time

Receipts stay grouped by category all year, so a tax report is a filter and an export rather than a weekend of sorting.

See how a receipt scanner for business fits into the rest of the bookkeeping.

Contractors

Snap material and fuel receipts on the job site, tagged to the job they belong to.

Truck Drivers

Capture fuel, tolls and meal receipts on the road before they pile up in the cab.

How accurate is AI receipt scanning?

Accuracy depends on the receipt and the photo. Clear, flat receipts in good light scan best, while creases, glare, faded ink and poor light make errors more likely. Every field is shown before saving so anything read wrong can be fixed.

Can it read faded or crumpled receipts?

Often, yes, though results depend on the condition of the receipt. Flatten it, use good light and keep the whole receipt in the frame. Thermal receipts scan best soon after you get them.

Can I scan receipts for my small business?

Yes. Capture supplier, materials and fuel receipts as they happen, tag them by job or client, and export an expense report or tax report in PDF or Excel for your accountant.

Can I scan several receipts at once?

On the web app you can upload up to 15 receipts in one batch, and each is saved as its own expense.

Can I throw away paper receipts after scanning?

The IRS accepts electronic records that are legible, complete and can be reproduced when asked, as explained in IRS Publication 583. Rules vary by record type and country, so confirm with your CPA before discarding originals.

Can I use the receipt scanner on the web?

Yes. The web app works as receipt scanner software in your browser: upload JPG, PNG or PDF receipts, search and filter them, and export expense and tax reports. The web app is on a paid plan.

What does Manage Receipt cost?

The iPhone and Android apps start at $0. The web app is on a paid plan. See the pricing page for current plans and limits.

Is my data secure?

Your data is encrypted in transit and stored in secure cloud storage. Manage Receipt does not sell your information or use it for advertising, and you can ask for your data to be deleted. Read more on the Security and Trust page.
