Extract vendor names, dates, totals, tax, tips, and line items from receipt PDFs, scans, and photos into Excel or Google Sheets. AI reads any receipt format without templates.
No templates. No manual data entry. No per-store setup.
Upload receipt photos, scans, or PDFs. The AI handles JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, multi-page PDFs, and more — crumpled paper, faded thermal print, and phone photos included.
The AI reads each receipt and identifies vendor name, date, line items, subtotal, tax, tip, total, and payment method. Data lands in organized columns — no templates break when receipt formats change.
Download extracted receipt data as Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Use AI columns to categorize expenses, flag duplicates, or add custom fields in plain English.
Upload any receipt — store, restaurant, gas station, medical, or travel — and get structured spreadsheet data back immediately.
No templates. No training data. No per-receipt-type setup.
Store receipts, restaurant checks, gas station slips, medical receipts, hotel folios, travel receipts, and online purchase confirmations. AI reads any receipt layout from any vendor without templates or per-store configuration.
Snap a photo with your phone or scan a stack of receipts. AI handles crumpled paper, faded thermal print, skewed angles, shadows, and low resolution. Accepts JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, WebP, and PDF files without pre-processing.
Extracts individual products and services from receipts with descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and line totals. Each line item maps to its own spreadsheet row, preserving the full detail of every purchase.
AI columns automatically categorize receipts by expense type — meals, travel, office supplies, fuel, medical — using plain-English rules. Define custom categories that match your expense policy and reporting structure.
Upload hundreds of receipts at once. AI processes them in parallel and outputs all extracted data to a single spreadsheet. Connect email or cloud storage for automatic processing as receipts arrive.
SOC 2 Type 2 certified. HIPAA compliant with BAA available. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit. Receipt images automatically deleted within 24 hours. Your data is never used to train AI models.
“Our field team submits 200+ receipts per week. What used to take a full day of manual data entry now processes automatically in under an hour. Vendor, amount, category — all extracted and ready for our expense report.”
“We process receipts from 15 different countries. The AI handles every format — different languages, different currencies, different layouts. No templates to maintain for each country or vendor.”
“Month-end receipt reconciliation used to take our accounting team three days. Now we upload the batch and get a clean spreadsheet with vendor, date, amount, tax, and category in minutes.”
“We eliminated 90% of manual receipt entry. Faded thermal receipts, crumpled gas station slips, photographed restaurant checks — the AI handles all of it and gets the data right.”
Finance teams using AI-powered receipt extraction have reduced manual data entry by 85–95% across expense reporting, accounts payable, and bookkeeping workflows.
Receipts are one of the most common document types in business, and one of the most frustrating to digitize. Every store, restaurant, gas station, and vendor prints receipts in a different format. There is no standard layout. Line items appear in different positions, tax is labeled differently across jurisdictions, tips may or may not be present, and the same receipt might include both printed text and handwritten additions. Traditional approaches to receipt data entry — manual typing or template-based OCR — struggle because they require a known, consistent format to work reliably.
The physical condition of receipts adds another layer of difficulty. Thermal paper fades within weeks of printing, especially when stored in wallets, pockets, or glove compartments. Receipts get crumpled, folded, stained, and torn. Field teams photograph receipts with phone cameras under variable lighting conditions, producing images with shadows, glare, skewed angles, and motion blur. A receipt extraction tool that only works on pristine scans fails on the documents that matter most — the real-world receipts that people actually need to process.
AI-powered receipt extraction solves both problems simultaneously. Instead of matching text against predefined templates, layout-agnostic AI reads the visual structure of each receipt the way a person would. It identifies that the number at the bottom is the total, that the column of items with prices is the line item list, that the percentage-based charge is tax, and that the handwritten number on a restaurant receipt is the tip. This contextual understanding means the same extraction engine works on a grocery store receipt, a restaurant check, a gas station slip, and a medical office receipt without any configuration.
The output goes directly into spreadsheets. Each receipt becomes a row with vendor name, date, subtotal, tax, tip, total, payment method, and category in the correct columns. Line items can be extracted as separate rows for detailed purchase tracking. AI columns let teams define custom extraction rules in plain English — “categorize as Travel if the vendor is an airline, hotel, or car rental company” — so receipts are automatically classified according to expense policies without manual sorting.

Receipt extraction is the process of using AI and OCR to pull structured data from receipts — paper receipts, digital PDFs, scanned images, and phone photos — and convert it into organized spreadsheet formats like Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Instead of manually typing receipt details, AI reads the receipt and outputs structured fields like vendor name, date, total, tax, tip, line items, and payment method into the correct spreadsheet columns automatically.
AI-powered receipt extraction pulls all key fields: vendor or merchant name, transaction date and time, subtotal, tax amount, tip or gratuity, total amount, individual line items with descriptions and prices, payment method (cash, credit card last four digits, mobile payment), currency, and receipt or transaction number. Lido extracts these fields into organized spreadsheet columns automatically from any receipt type.
Yes. AI-powered receipt extraction handles real-world receipt conditions that break traditional OCR. The AI compensates for crumpled or folded paper, faded thermal print, photos taken at angles, low resolution and blur, and handwritten additions like tips or notes. Lido’s AI uses contextual understanding to fill in degraded characters based on surrounding text and receipt structure.
AI receipt extraction handles all receipt types: store and retail receipts, restaurant receipts with tip and gratuity, gas station fuel receipts, medical and pharmacy receipts, hotel folios and travel receipts, online purchase confirmations, and utility bills. The AI reads any receipt layout without templates. Lido accepts JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, WebP, and PDF files.
