Picture to Excel

Convert a picture of a table to Excel

Snap a photo of a printed or handwritten table, price list, timesheet or receipt and get real spreadsheet rows and columns — not a picture pasted into a cell.

Real columns

Tables are rebuilt as rows and columns, with numbers kept as numbers.

Handwritten tables too

Stock counts, timesheets and site logs filled in by hand are read.

Same layout every time

Save the columns as a template and every new photo lands in the same shape.
