What is a receipt OCR parser?
A receipt OCR parser is a tool that OCRs a receipt image — a shopping receipt, a UPI payment receipt (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm), a restaurant bill, or a fuel bill — and extracts structured data: merchant, date, total, tax, GST, payment method, UPI ID, an items list with quantity and price, and a spend category, into Excel, CSV, or JSON without typing.
It solves the same daily friction as retyping any receipt for expense reporting: normally you type merchant, date, and every item line by hand — a few minutes per receipt, with typo risk. With this tool: drop the receipt → get an Excel row and an items table in a couple of seconds → paste into an expense sheet.
Bulk receipt scanner — combine multiple receipts, group by merchant, sum total
Every receipt scanner on the open web — Expensify, Veryfi, CamScanner, a Python OCR script — handles one receipt at a time. None of them drop a folder of 50 or 100 receipts in, group them by merchant, and hand back a summed Excel sheet. Bulk mode does exactly that: switch the toggle at the top from Single Receipt to Bulk, then drop a whole folder — shopping receipts, UPI screenshots, restaurant bills, fuel bills, mixed — and every file OCRs in parallel (4 Tesseract.js workers) in your browser.
The killer part is what happens after OCR: receipts group by normalized merchant name automatically — “DMart”, “D-Mart”, and “DMart Indiranagar” all collapse into one DMart group with a summed total, the same way a UPI payee name groups a month of PhonePe/GPay transfers to one person or shop. Uncheck a row to exclude it from the sum live, edit any merchant/date/total/category inline, then download a 4-sheet Excel workbook (Summary, Receipts, Items, Grouped by Merchant), CSV, JSON, or a PDF expense report — up to 200 receipts per batch, 10MB each, nothing uploaded.

What details can you extract from a receipt?
| Detail | Example | Accuracy | How extracted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total | ₹1,250.00 | 90-98% | Keyword match (Grand Total, Net Amount, Payable, Total) + largest-amount fallback |
| Date | 12 Aug 2025 → 2025-08-12 | 90-95% | DD/MM/YYYY and "12 Aug 2025" patterns, parsed to ISO |
| GSTIN | 29ABCDE1234F1Z5 | 98% | Same 15-char India GSTIN regex as Address Extractor |
| UPI ID | rahul@okaxis | 97% | handle@psp pattern, excluding real email domains |
| Tax | ₹112.50 | 85-90% | CGST+SGST sum, or a combined GST/VAT/Tax line |
| Payment method | UPI / Cash / Card / Net Banking | ~85% | Keyword match — PhonePe/GPay/Paytm always resolve to UPI |
| Merchant | DMart | ~85% | First non-header line of the receipt |
| Items | Milk 1L, Qty 2, ₹60 each | 78-88% | Line parsing: Name / Qty / Price / Total column shape |
| Category | Shopping / Food / Fuel / Medical / Travel | ~80% | Merchant/keyword match — DMart→Shopping, Swiggy→Food, etc. |
Best: Total/GSTIN/UPI ID 90–98% via regex. Merchant/Items 78–88% via line heuristics.
UPI receipt parser — PhonePe, GPay, Paytm screenshot to Excel
A UPI payment receipt screenshot from PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm carries a transaction ID, an amount, a date, and a UPI handle — but there is nowhere on the open web that turns that screenshot into an Excel row. Drop the screenshot here: the parser detects it as a UPI Receipt automatically, reads the amount, date, transaction ID, and UPI ID (name@bank), and exports the same way as any other receipt.
Screenshot the UPI receipt → drop it here → the receipt type badge reads “UPI Receipt” → copy the UPI ID and transaction ID, or download the row as Excel for a monthly UPI spend log.
Shopping receipt to expense report — freelancer use case
A freelancer with a stack of shopping and fuel receipts for tax filing normally types each one by hand. With this tool, each receipt becomes an Excel row with an items table in a couple of seconds: drop the receipt → check the extracted fields → Download Excel (Receipt sheet + Items sheet) → paste into the month’s expense sheet, or hand the .xlsx straight to a CA.
Best practices for accurate receipt parsing
- Use a clear, well-lit photo — a blurry receipt drags OCR confidence down across every field.
- Crop to the receipt — remove the table, hands, or background clutter around it.
- Straighten a tilted receipt — a skewed photo confuses line-by-line item parsing more than any other field.
- A faded thermal receipt needs a clearer photo, not a retry — regex OCR is built for clean print; re-shoot in better light rather than expecting the same blurry photo to parse better twice.
- Check the items table — a receipt with unusual columns may need a row or two fixed with Edit, or added with + Add Item.
- Verify the total — a red or amber confidence pill means double-check it against the printed receipt before filing.
- India GST + UPI built in — the same 15-char GSTIN pattern as Address Extractor, plus a UPI-handle regex tuned to exclude real email addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to extract data from a receipt image to Excel without typing?
Drop the receipt image here — shopping receipt, UPI receipt, restaurant bill, fuel bill. Tesseract.js OCRs it in your browser in a couple of seconds (no upload). The parser extracts merchant, date, total, tax, GST, payment method, UPI ID, and an items table with qty and price. Click Download Excel for a .xlsx with a Receipt sheet and an Items sheet — no typing.
Can it scan a UPI receipt — PhonePe, GPay, Paytm screenshot — to Excel?
Yes. Drop a PhonePe/GPay/Paytm payment-success screenshot — the parser reads the amount, date, transaction ID, and the UPI handle (name@bank) via regex, and detects the receipt as a UPI Receipt automatically. Download Excel or copy the row as CSV/JSON.
Can it extract the items list with quantity and price from a shopping receipt?
Yes — line-by-line parsing looks for a Name / Qty / Price / Total pattern (e.g. "Milk 1L 2 60.00 120.00"). The items table shows a live subtotal, and each row has Edit and a trash icon to remove it, plus a "+ Add Item" row for anything OCR missed.
Is Receipt OCR Parser private? Does it upload my bills?
100% private in your browser via Tesseract.js WASM — the image never leaves your device, and OCR runs locally.
What receipt types are supported?
Shopping receipts (DMart, supermarkets), UPI payment receipts (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm), restaurant bills, fuel bills, and medical bills. JPG, PNG, WEBP, and PDF (first page), up to 10MB.
How accurate is receipt parsing? What about a faded thermal receipt?
Total and GSTIN 90-98%, UPI ID ~97%, date ~90-95%, merchant and items 78-88% depending on layout. A faded thermal receipt lowers OCR confidence across the board — low-confidence fields are flagged amber/red, so click Edit to correct them against the printed receipt.
Can I get an expense report with total spent and tax?
Yes — the Expense Report tab formats merchant, date, category, items, subtotal, tax, and total as plain text ready to paste into an email or accounting note. There is also a one-click "Share on WhatsApp" that sends the same report.
Can I extract the GST number (GSTIN) from a receipt?
Yes — the same 15-character India GSTIN pattern used by Address Extractor (2 digits + 5 letters + 4 digits + 1 letter + 1 alphanumeric + Z + 1 alphanumeric), matched at ~98% confidence and included in every export.
Can I fix a field if OCR gets it wrong?
Yes — every field and every item row has an Edit control. Editing an item's quantity or price recalculates its total and the items subtotal immediately; editing any field updates the JSON, CSV, and Excel preview live.
How do I combine multiple receipts and sum the total by merchant?
Switch to Bulk mode and drop a whole folder of receipts — shopping, UPI, restaurant, fuel, mixed. Every receipt is OCR'd in parallel (4 workers), then grouped by normalized merchant name automatically: "DMart", "D-Mart", and "DMart Indiranagar" all collapse into one "DMart" group with a summed total. Uncheck a receipt to exclude it from the sum live, or click Download Excel Grouped for a 4-sheet workbook (Summary, Receipts, Items, Grouped by Merchant).
How do I scan a whole folder of receipts to Excel at once?
In Bulk mode, click "Add Folder" (or drag a folder onto the drop zone) — every JPG, PNG, WEBP, and PDF inside is queued and OCR'd automatically, up to 200 receipts per batch. A live progress bar shows OCR N/Total, and each row lands in an editable, sortable, searchable table the moment it finishes.
How do I convert PhonePe/GPay UPI receipt screenshots to Excel in bulk?
Drop a folder of UPI payment screenshots into Bulk mode — each one is detected as a UPI Receipt, and the payee name (from "Paid to X"), amount, date, transaction ID, and UPI handle are extracted per screenshot. They group by payee the same way a shopping receipt groups by merchant, so a month of PhonePe/GPay/Paytm payments becomes one summed Excel sheet.
