Free private receipt scanner — convert photos and PDFs to CSV, Excel, ZIP

Receipt Ripper turns receipt photos and PDFs into structured data — vendor, date, line items, totals, tax — entirely in your browser. No upload, no signup, no account. Free forever.

How it works

1. Drop the receipt

Drag a photo (JPG, PNG, HEIC, even an iPhone HEIF), drop a PDF, or paste from your clipboard. Multiple receipts at once work too — drop a batch or even a ZIP archive of last quarter's photos.
2. OCR runs in your browser

Tesseract.js processes each receipt inside a Web Worker. Photos get auto-cropped, perspective-corrected, and read end-to-end on your device. Nothing uploads to any server.
3. Review and export

Edit any field that came through wrong, tag receipts with categories, then download CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or a ZIP that bundles a workbook plus every original image — ready for your bookkeeper.

Why local OCR matters

Most receipt scanners work by uploading your image to a cloud OCR pipeline. Their server receives the photo, runs OCR remotely, and returns structured data. That works, but it means receipts sit on someone else's hardware: payment-card last-fours, store locations, purchase patterns, dates and times you were somewhere.

Receipt Ripper takes the opposite stance. The OCR runs on your device. The parsed data lives in your browser tab and gets exported straight to your filesystem. There is no API call carrying receipt bytes — it's structurally impossible because the site's Content Security Policy refuses external network connections from anything that could carry receipt content.

That makes Receipt Ripper a fit for anyone whose receipt data is sensitive: business owners with expense patterns they don't want indexed, contractors whose client billing is private, individuals doing tax prep, anyone in a high-regulation industry, and anyone who simply prefers their stuff stays theirs.

Use cases

Tax preparation

Year-end tax filing means turning a shoebox of receipts into deductible-expense rows. Receipt Ripper batches a quarter's worth in minutes. Subtotal, tax (VAT / IVA / TVA / GST), and total are extracted per receipt and summed in the Excel export — your accountant gets a workbook that pivots cleanly.

Expense reports

Reimbursable spend tracking on the road or after a client trip. Drag the receipts off your phone, edit the vendor names if OCR mangled them, hit Export. The ZIP bundle gives your finance team a workbook plus every original image attached — no separate "find the matching photo" step.

Freelancer bookkeeping

Self-employed bookkeeping is a slow accumulation of small purchases. Drop each receipt in as you get it, tag with project or client, and the running batch sums the relevant totals. Toggle "Exclude tax from exports" if your jurisdiction frowns on handing tax-itemised data to third parties.

Splitting bills

Group dinner where everyone wants their slice itemised. Receipt Ripper extracts each line item with quantity and price, so you can split by what each person actually ordered instead of dividing the total. Works on Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch receipts as well as English.
