Extraction

Every Invoice Field Extracted to Excel

The invoice to Excel converter reads the full document and identifies every field it can find — from vendor details to individual line items. Here's exactly what lands in your spreadsheet.

Extracted Fields

  • Sender (vendor) and receiver (customer) name, full address, tax/VAT ID, and email
  • Invoice number, issue date, due date, currency, payment terms, and PO number
  • Every line item: description, quantity, unit price, line total, tax rate, and tax amount
  • Document totals: subtotal, discount, tax breakdown by rate, withholdings, and grand total
  • Tax-inclusive flag and free-form notes (JSON output)

Choose JSON for Complete Data

Excel, CSV and Word produce a flat single-sheet line-item table with doc_id, source filename, invoice number, dates, currency, sender, receiver, and per-line description, quantity, unit price, line total, tax rate, and tax amount. Document-level totals (subtotal, discount, full tax breakdown, withholdings, grand total) and party metadata (addresses, tax IDs, email) live in JSON. Premium can also export to Xero CSV.

JSON preserves every extracted field. The flat Excel/CSV/Word view is the format that merges N invoices into one tabular file.

Best Practices

Tips for the Best Invoice to Excel Results

Most invoices arrive as PDFs — upload them directly to the converter for the cleanest output. For paper invoices, these tips help maximize OCR accuracy.

  1. Upload the original PDF when possible

    PDF-native text gives the AI a lossless source — no OCR noise from scanning

  2. Multi-page? Upload the full file

    The AI merges line items across all pages automatically — no need to split

  3. Scans: use 300 DPI or higher

    Higher resolution means sharper text, especially for small table fonts

  4. Include the full document

    Capture from vendor header through payment terms at the bottom — cropping can lose due dates

  5. Avoid glare on glossy paper

    If photographing, use diffused lighting to prevent hotspots on coated stock

  6. Handwritten annotations are fine

    The AI can read pen notes and handwritten additions on printed invoices

Questions

Invoice to Excel Converter FAQ

How do I convert an invoice PDF to Excel?
Upload your invoice PDF (or photo) to ScanToExcel's free invoice to Excel converter, pick Excel as the output format, and download the spreadsheet. The AI extracts every line item — description, quantity, unit price, tax rate, total — plus invoice number, dates, vendor and customer details. No signup, no credit card, processing takes a few seconds, and up to 10 invoices per day are free.
Is the invoice to Excel converter really free?
Yes. The free plan converts up to 10 invoices per day with no signup, no credit card, and no watermarks. Excel, CSV, Word, and JSON exports are all included on the free tier. Premium ($4.99/month) lifts the daily cap, adds batches of 50 documents per upload, merging into a single export, and native Xero CSV.
What data does ScanToExcel extract from invoices?
The AI extracts every line item with description, quantity, unit price, line total, tax rate, and tax amount. It also captures the full tax breakdown by rate, subtotal, discount, withholdings, and grand total. Document-level fields include invoice number, issue and due dates, currency, payment terms, PO number, and both sender (vendor) and receiver (customer) name, address, tax/VAT ID, and email. Excel, CSV and Word return a flat single-sheet line-item table; JSON preserves every extracted field. Premium can additionally export to Xero CSV.
Can ScanToExcel handle multi-page invoice PDFs?
Yes. Upload the full PDF and the AI processes all pages as a single document. Line items from every page are combined into one output file. There is no need to split the PDF beforehand.
What output formats are available for invoice conversion?
All plans export to Excel (XLSX), CSV, Word (DOCX), and JSON. Excel, CSV and Word produce a flat single-sheet line-item table with doc-level columns (invoice number, dates, sender, receiver, currency) repeated on every line — ideal for merging many invoices. JSON returns the complete canonical document including addresses, tax IDs, payment terms, full tax breakdown, and totals. Premium adds native Xero CSV. (QuickBooks Online uses its own OCR for invoices and doesn't accept CSV import for them.)
What is the difference between invoice and receipt extraction?
Invoices are pre-payment documents from vendors with structured fields like invoice numbers, due dates, and VAT breakdowns. Receipts are post-payment proofs from merchants. ScanToExcel uses different extraction prompts tailored to each document type — the invoice prompt targets B2B fields like sender and receiver details, invoice numbers, and tax rates, while the receipt prompt focuses on merchant names, item lists, and transaction totals.
Is my invoice data stored or shared?
No. All processing happens in memory and files are discarded the moment your download is ready. Nothing is logged, cached, or retained. ScanToExcel follows a privacy-first architecture that is fully GDPR compliant.
