Receipt scanner

Snap a bill. Expensebit reads the rest

Expensebit's receipt scanner turns a photo into an expense. Send a picture of a shop receipt, a restaurant bill, or a UPI payment screenshot on WhatsApp, and Expensebit extracts the merchant and amount and files it for you — no app, no cropping, no typing.

Why scan receipts instead of typing them?

Receipts pile up. Whether it's the kirana slip, the dinner bill, or a UPI confirmation on your screen, manually transferring those numbers into an app is exactly the kind of chore most people skip. The proof of your spending is right there in a photo — so the photo should be enough.

That's the idea behind Expensebit's receipt scanner. Instead of reading a bill and re-typing it, you let Expensebit read it. The same applies to UPI screenshots, which is how a huge share of payments in India actually happen.

How the receipt scanner works

1. Take or share a photo

Snap a picture of the receipt or open your UPI app and screenshot the payment confirmation. Send it to Expensebit on WhatsApp like you'd send any image.

2. Expensebit reads the image

Expensebit analyses the photo, finds the total amount and the merchant or recipient, and chooses a category based on your preferences. It works with printed receipts and on-screen UPI confirmations alike.

3. Confirm and you're done

Expensebit tells you what it logged. If a detail needs changing, reply in the conversation — change merchant to Big Bazaar or that was 1,250 — and it updates instantly.

Made for UPI-first India

Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm screenshots are first-class inputs for Expensebit. Since these payments don't leave a paper trail, screenshotting and sending them is the simplest way to keep your records complete. Expensebit reads the amount and the payee so your UPI spends are captured just like cash or card purchases.

One inbox for every kind of expense

The receipt scanner works hand in hand with Expensebit's other inputs. Type a quick line with the WhatsApp expense tracker, speak a voice note, or scan a receipt — whatever is fastest. Everything flows into the same history.

Turn receipts into insight

Scanned expenses appear on your dashboard alongside everything else, with category charts, filters, and month-over-month analysis. Splitting a scanned restaurant bill with friends? Expensebit can split the expense and track who owes you, right from the chat.
