Handwritten bills,
straight into Excel.
Take a photo of a bill and get back a spreadsheet with the merchant, date, items and total already filled in. Handwritten bills work too, not just printed ones.
If you are typing bills into a spreadsheet, this is for you
A drawer of receipts that has to become a month of accounts. Purchase bills from twenty different suppliers, all in different handwriting. Somebody else’s books, due on the 20th. The work is the same each time and none of it is thinking work.
How it works
Take a photo
Your phone camera is enough. Lay the bill flat, get the whole of it in the frame, and take the picture. Handwritten ones, faded till rolls and printed invoices all go in the same way, from any country, and you can send several at once.
Check what it read
Google's AI does the reading. The bill then comes up beside its own photograph with everything filled in, so you can go down it line by line and correct anything that came out wrong before it reaches your books.
Take it away
Download it as an Excel file, as a PDF, or as a plain CSV. However you have sorted and filtered things on screen is how they arrive in the file.
What you get back
Every line, not just the total
What was bought, how many, at what rate, and what that line came to. Each one gets its own row and its own columns, so you can sort them, add them, or filter them like anything else in a spreadsheet.
Who the bill is from
The shop name, the bill number, the date, the phone and address if they are printed, and the tax number if the bill carries one. All the small things you would otherwise copy across by hand.
What it all came to
The total, the currency it was in, and how it was paid. If the bill writes the amount out in words as well as figures, that comes across too.
Smart features built for real accounting work
Reading a bill is just the start. These smart details keep your accounting register organized, accurate, and easy to audit.
The file reads like a bill book
Each bill keeps its own block with its items underneath it and its own total, the way a register does. Not one long row per bill with everything that was on it thrown away.
It notices when the same bill goes in twice
Same shop, same bill number, same amount, and it says so, along with how much that mistake has added to your total. Better to hear it now than when the books do not agree.
Two currencies never get added together
A foreign receipt sitting in a pile of local ones is counted on its own. Each currency gets its own total, and you can look at one at a time.
It tells you when it could not read something
A photo it cannot make sense of comes back as a failure rather than as a bill it made up. The first 5 of those each day cost you nothing; past that they count like any other scan.
Why it is free
No hidden fees, no credit cards, and no user accounts. Here is how the free allowance works.
20 Scans Free Daily
There are no accounts, and nothing your bills say is kept on our side. Every visitor gets 20 free scans a day, refreshed automatically.
Honest Capacity Limit
Reading a bill costs real money at Google AI. If the day's budget runs out, scanning pauses until tomorrow and you are told plainly rather than shown a broken page.
Questions
Free. 20 bills a day, no account, no card. Reading a bill costs us money at Google, so the daily cap is the thing that keeps it open to everybody instead of running out on the first person. The scanner counts down as you go, so you will never find the limit by walking into it.
Your browser shrinks the photo, sends it over HTTPS to us, and we hand it to Google's Gemini to be read. Nothing is written to a database on the way: not the picture, not the shop, not the amounts. The answer goes straight back to you and is kept on your device only. Google's own terms cover their part, and the Privacy page links to them.
That is what it was built for: handwritten shop bills, faded till rolls, printed invoices. It usually manages them. We have never measured it against a fixed set of bills, so we are not going to quote you a number. Read the fields before you rely on them. Every one can be edited, and the photo sits right there while you do it.
Excel and Google Sheets open the .xlsx file directly with clean itemized columns. For TallyPrime, you can import the Excel file using Tally’s standard Excel import feature or custom mapping template. We would rather state this clearly than promise an unrealistic one-click path.
It types out what your bill says, and that is the whole job. It is not tax or accounting software: it does no tax maths, it does not check whether a number is real, and it files nothing anywhere. A tax number in your file is there because it was printed on the paper. What you claim is between you and your accountant.
No. It reads a photograph, and paper works much the same everywhere: a shop, a date, some lines with prices, a total at the bottom. It takes whatever tax number the bill happens to carry, from any country, and keeps each currency to itself instead of adding them up together.
In your browser, on your own device, and nowhere else. There is no account to sign into and no copy sitting on our side. The other half of that: clearing your browser data deletes them, and we cannot get them back for you. Export anything you want to keep.
No catch! Bill to Excel is an independent, privacy-first tool built to eliminate manual bill typing for small businesses and accountants. We provide 20 free scans per visitor every day without requiring credit cards or account registration.
