Scan receipts into Google Sheets

Photograph or drop your receipts, let TillSheet read them on your device, then import the CSV into Google Sheets. Free for 10 receipts a day.

🔒 Never uploaded📷 Photos, scans & PDFs✓ Every total double-checked🆓 10 a day free, no signup

Steps

  1. Take clear, flat photos of your receipts (or collect PDF receipts from email).
  2. Drop them into TillSheet above — on your phone or computer. Each one is read on your device: vendor, date, subtotal, tax, tip, total and a suggested category.
  3. Fix anything marked ⚠, then download CSV.
  4. In Google Sheets choose File → Import → Upload, pick the CSV and choose Insert new sheet or Append to current sheet to add to an existing log.

Tips for good scans

  • Flat on a dark, plain surface, with even light and no shadows.
  • Fill the frame with the receipt; keep the total and date in focus.
  • Thermal receipts fade — scan them soon after purchase.

Running log

Use Append to current sheet each week or month to keep one running expense log. With Pro you can drop a whole folder at once.

FAQ

Does this work from my phone?

Yes. Open TillSheet in your phone's browser and choose photos from your camera roll. Reading happens on the phone; then download the CSV and import it into Google Sheets.

Is it really private?

Yes. Files are read by JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your browser tab, including the OCR for photos. Nothing about the file is sent over the network. You can verify it in your browser's developer tools (Network tab), or disconnect from the internet after the page loads — conversion still works.

What can it read?

Digital PDF invoices and receipts (exact text), scanned PDFs and photos of receipts (on-device OCR). It extracts vendor, date, due date, invoice/receipt number, currency, subtotal, discount, shipping, tax, tip, total and line items, and suggests an expense category.

How accurate is it?

Digital PDFs are read exactly. For every document TillSheet checks that the line items add up to the subtotal and that subtotal + tax + tip equals the total; documents that pass get a green ✓, anything else is flagged ⚠ so you can fix it before exporting. Photo OCR depends on the photo — flat, well-lit and in focus works best.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Open TillSheet in your phone's browser and choose photos from your camera roll. HEIC photos open in Safari; in other browsers, share them as JPG.

What about password-protected PDFs?

Supported. You'll be asked for the password, which is used only inside your browser to open the file.

What's free?

10 receipts or invoices per day, 3 files at a time, with CSV and Excel export. No account needed. Pro adds unlimited documents, whole-folder batches, a line-item CSV and Xero and QuickBooks exports.
