Receipt Photo Guide

Tips for getting the most accurate results from AI receipt scanning

How Receipt Scanning Works

Our AI analyzes your receipt image, extracts text and line-item structure, then creates one or multiple transactions for your review. The better the image quality, the more accurate the results.

Photo Tips for Best Results

  • Capture the full receipt in the frame
  • Use good, even lighting
  • Avoid glare and reflections
  • Keep the camera focused for sharp, clear text
  • Lay the receipt flat with minimal folds or wrinkles
  • Make sure text and line items are large and legible

Note about food delivery receipts

If you want the entire order recorded as a single "Food delivery" expense, we recommend creating the transaction manually. Otherwise, AI may classify individual items (pizza, drinks, etc.) into different categories.
