How it works

Extract receipt data in three steps

Upload or photograph your receipts

Snap a photo, scan, or upload receipt PDFs. Process individual receipts or batch hundreds using email auto-forwarding.

AI extracts vendor, total, tax, and line items

The receipt extractor reads every field—store name, date, item descriptions, quantities, prices, tax, and payment method.

Get structured data instantly

Download extracted receipt data as Excel, CSV, or JSON. Push to your expense tracking or accounting system via API.

Enterprise security

Enterprise-grade protection

SOC 2 Type 2

Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.

AES-256 encryption

Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.

24-hour deletion

Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.

What teams are saying

“We process documents from over 200 sources with completely different layouts. This handled them all on the first upload without any configuration.”

“Manual data entry was eating 15 hours a week. We cut that to under an hour by letting the AI extract everything into a spreadsheet automatically.”

“The confidence scoring is what sold us. We set a 95% threshold and only review flagged fields instead of spot-checking everything.”

What is receipt extraction and why it matters

Last updated: June 2026

Receipt extraction enables organizations to convert paper and digital documents—PDFs, photographs, scanned files—into structured formats like Excel rows, CSV records, or JSON payloads. Any team handling significant document volume benefits from reliable receipt extraction to avoid manual transcription bottlenecks.

Conventional extraction tools required configuring templates or training models for each distinct document layout. This was manageable for documents from a single source with a consistent format, but it fell apart when processing documents from multiple origins with varying structures. Template upkeep became a burden that expanded with every new source.

Modern AI extraction operates without layout dependency. Instead of requiring coordinate mappings or training data, the AI comprehends each document contextually—understanding that the number beside “Total” is a total wherever it appears on the page. Lido employs this method to process any document format on the first upload without templates or prior training.

When choosing a receipt extraction platform, prioritize accuracy across different layouts, output format flexibility, integration capabilities with existing systems, and compliance certifications. Lido satisfies all of these with SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, HIPAA eligibility, and a REST API for programmatic workflows.

Frequently asked questions

What is receipt extraction and how does it work?

Receipt Extraction is the process of reading documents such as PDFs, scanned images, and photos, then extracting specific fields and converting them into structured data like spreadsheet rows, CSV, or JSON. Modern receipt extraction tools use AI vision models that understand document layout and context, so they do not require templates or manual zone configuration.

What types of documents can receipt extraction handle?

AI-powered receipt extraction handles invoices, receipts, purchase orders, bank statements, financial reports, tax forms, medical records, contracts, and virtually any other document type. The same extraction engine works across all formats without separate configurations.

How accurate is AI-based receipt extraction?

AI-based receipt extraction typically achieves 95 to 99 percent accuracy on well-structured documents. Confidence scoring flags uncertain fields for human review rather than guessing silently. Lido provides confidence scores on every extracted field so teams can set review thresholds appropriate for their requirements.

What output formats are supported?

Supported output formats include Excel spreadsheets, Google Sheets, CSV files for import into accounting or ERP systems, JSON for API integrations, and XML for legacy systems. Lido also provides a REST API that returns structured JSON with field-level confidence scores.
