Expense claims without a scanner

Receipts are small, curl up and are usually photographed on a busy desk. ScanReviver crops away everything but the paper, straightens it, and evens out the lighting so faint print reads clearly. Faded thermal receipts often come out best in Black & White.

How to scan a receipt

  1. Photograph each receipt on a flat, contrasting surface in decent light.
  2. Upload the photos to ScanReviver (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC).
  3. Crop to the paper, then try Clean or Black & White for the crispest text.
  4. Download a JPG or PNG per receipt, or one PDF with all of them.

Honest about what it does

ScanReviver is an image cleanup tool: it makes the receipt readable and tidy. It does not read the amounts, add up totals or pull out the vendor, so you still type those into your expense form yourself. For the full multi-page flow see scan to PDF, and to tackle heavy shadows first, reduce shadows.

ScanReviver improves readability; it does not use generative AI and never rewrites text, changes numbers, edits dates or recreates signatures or stamps. Very dark shadows, text hidden under a finger, glossy glare and severe blur can still look imperfect, so always check the result before you rely on it.

Common questions

Does it read the total off the receipt?

No. ScanReviver cleans and straightens the image; it does not extract amounts or vendor names. You still enter those into your expense form yourself.

Which mode is best for faded receipts?

Black & White usually lifts faint thermal-printer ink the most. Try Clean first, then Black & White, and preview both.

Can I put several receipts in one file?

Yes. Add up to 10, arrange the order, and download one combined PDF.

Is it free and private?

Yes. No account, no watermark, no daily cap. Your upload is deleted right after processing and the result after 45 minutes.
