How to Extract Data from a Scanned Invoice

Use a readable scan that includes the supplier heading, item table, and totals.

1

Upload a readable invoice scan

Choose a PDF scan or supported image. Keep the invoice upright and include the supplier heading, item rows, and total section.

2

Choose text or table output

Use Content extraction to recover the invoice’s readable content, or Table extraction when you need its fields and billed items.

3

Process and compare the content

Click Process files. Check digits, dates, and item descriptions against the scan, especially around stamps, shadows, or faint print.

4

Save a reusable version

Download text or Markdown for reference, or export extracted tables to Excel and CSV for further work.

Cannot Copy Text from an Invoice Scan?

When the invoice is a picture, entering its details means reading and typing each line.

Text that cannot be selected
A scanned PDF may display every word clearly but give you nothing useful when you copy and paste.
Stamps and shadows over amounts
Marks, folds, or poor lighting can obscure an invoice number or part of the total.
Tables that need usable cells
Recognizing the digits helps only if quantities, prices, and item descriptions remain connected.

Read Invoice Scans without Retyping Them

Get text and tables separately from the uploaded invoice scan. Copy or download the recognized content, then correct any errors in an external editor or spreadsheet.

Start with the paper invoice scan or image you already have.

Use Content extraction for headings, payment notes, and the invoice’s readable details.

Use Table extraction when you need descriptions and amounts in rows and columns.

Save TXT or Markdown, or download tables as Excel and CSV to edit in your own tools.

Bring Scanned Invoices into Your Records

Use the recognized details for data entry, reference, or spreadsheet work.

Reuse archived invoice scans
Extract information when the original digital invoice is no longer available.
Reduce line-by-line typing
Start from recognized content and check the portions that are faint or obscured.
Keep payment notes accessible
Copy remittance details and surrounding wording when they matter to your record.
Prepare an item worksheet
Export readable billed items to continue checking charges in a spreadsheet.
