Five months, and the site has changed quite a lot
ScanToExcel went live on November 24, 2025. The first version was scrappy: one document type, one output format, one language, a lot of rough edges. Five months on, the landing page looks different, the converter looks different, and almost every feature has been rewritten at least once. What hasn't changed is the promise — drop a document in, get a clean spreadsheet out, don't get in your way.
- 1Rebuilt converter with drag-and-drop, batching and live progress
- 2Six dedicated use-case pages — receipts, invoices, bank and credit-card statements, paystubs and PDF tables
- 3Full multi-language product in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish and Dutch
- 4Premium tier with an enhanced AI model, priority processing and priority support
25,000 conversions — and counting
At some point over the last couple of weeks, the counter quietly ticked past 25,000 conversions. Receipts from café runs, invoices from tiny studios, bank statements from students trying to reconcile a year of spending, multi-page PDFs from accountants prepping tax season. Every single one of those was a moment where someone didn't have to retype a spreadsheet by hand. Thanks for trusting us with them.
New: ZIP downloads
When you convert more than one file at a time, you no longer end up with a download manager full of individual spreadsheets. Flip the Download as ZIP toggle in the converter and every result is bundled into a single scantoexcel_results.zip archive. It's designed for batches, but it also works on a single file if you just prefer one tidy folder.
One file instead of ten
Whether you upload one document or twenty, you get a single archive — cleaner downloads, cleaner folders.
Formats preserved
Each converted file keeps its original format (Excel, CSV, JSON or Word) inside the ZIP. Nothing is flattened or re-encoded.
Works on single files too
Built for batch conversions, but we kept it optional and available even when you only upload one document.
New: Email delivery
Long batches used to mean babysitting the tab until every file finished. Now you can toggle Send results to your email and walk away — when your conversions are ready, they land in the inbox of the email you signed up with.
No more tab-watching
Start a batch, close the tab, come back when your inbox pings. Perfect for large multi-page PDFs.
Delivered to your account email
We send results to the email tied to your ScanToExcel account — no extra forms, no deliverability tricks.
Works for one file or many
Just like ZIP, email delivery isn't locked to batches. Turn it on whenever it's more convenient than a direct download.
ZIP + email, either, or neither — you pick
The two toggles are independent, so you can mix and match depending on what fits the moment.
- 1Standard download — single file per conversion, just like it's always worked
- 2ZIP download — every conversion bundled into one archive on your device
- 3Email delivery — individual files sent to the inbox on your account
- 4ZIP + email — a single ZIP archive delivered straight to your inbox
What we're working on next
The biggest project in the background right now is a full rework of the back-end OCR engine. It's the kind of change users won't see directly, but it unlocks almost every feature that has been on the wish list.
Accounting-native output schemas
Export straight into Xero, QuickBooks and FreshBooks import formats — no column mapping, no clean-up step.
A public API
Plug ScanToExcel into your own apps, into Zapier or Make flows, or into research and university projects. Same accuracy, headless.
Merging of multiple files
Drop twelve monthly bank statements in and get one consolidated spreadsheet out — merged, sorted and ready for analysis.
Line-item translation
Automatically translate item descriptions on foreign-language receipts and invoices into the language you want to work in.
And a lot more
Faster throughput, more structured output formats, smarter handling of weird edge-case documents — the new engine makes all of it easier to ship.
