Five months in: 25,000 conversions, ZIP downloads, and email delivery
On April 24, 2026, ScanToExcel marked five months since launch and more than 25,000 conversions. This update introduced ZIP downloads and email delivery and outlined the next stage of work on the OCR engine.
Editorial update . Edited for clarity while preserving the announcement’s historical context.
Five months and 25,000 conversions
The project launched on November 24, 2025 with one document type and one language. By this update it had eight website languages, six use-case pages, and a converter with batching and progress feedback. The conversion counter had passed 25,000.
ZIP downloads
The ZIP option grouped converted files into one archive while retaining each file’s export format. It could also package a single result. This reduced the number of separate downloads when working through a batch.
Email delivery
Signed-in users could choose delivery to their account email. The browser completed the conversions and then requested the email, so the tab needed to stay open until that workflow finished. The earlier instruction to close it was incorrect.
Combining delivery options
At this release, signed-in users could choose ZIP, email, both, or standard downloads. ZIP plus email sent the results as one compressed attachment. These are the options described in the April announcement, not a statement of current plan entitlements.
The roadmap at the time
The next project was an OCR-engine rework. The announced plans included Xero, QuickBooks, and FreshBooks output schemas, a public API, file merging, and line-item translation. These were roadmap items in this post, not completed releases or confirmed delivery dates.
