Data Extraction

Convert PDF Receipts to Structured JSON

Upload any receipt PDF and get clean, structured JSON data ready for your accounting software, expense reports, or custom applications.

Managing receipts shouldn't require manual data entry. Whether you're a freelancer tracking expenses, a finance team processing reimbursements, or a developer building expense automation, converting PDF receipts to structured data is a common bottleneck.

ReceiptFlow uses advanced AI to extract every detail from your receipts—vendor names, dates, amounts, line items, taxes, and payment methods—and delivers it as clean JSON that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows.

The Problem

Every organization deals with receipts. Paper receipts get photographed, email receipts get forwarded, and digital invoices pile up in download folders. The data trapped inside these documents is valuable, but extracting it manually is tedious and error-prone.

Finance teams spend hours each month copying numbers from PDFs into spreadsheets. A single typo can throw off reconciliation. And when tax season arrives, finding that one specific receipt becomes a nightmare.

Traditional OCR tools produce raw text that still requires parsing and validation. They struggle with varied receipt formats, handwritten totals, and multi-language documents. What you need is structured data, not just recognized characters.

The Solution

ReceiptFlow goes beyond basic OCR. Our AI understands receipt structure—it knows where to find the vendor name, how to parse line items, and when a number represents tax versus a subtotal.

Upload a single receipt or batch process hundreds. Within seconds, you'll receive normalized JSON with consistent field names, validated totals, and confidence scores for every extracted value. The output plugs directly into accounting software, expense management tools, or your custom API integration.

Every file is processed securely and automatically deleted after 24 hours. Your financial data never trains our models or gets shared with third parties.

Technical Details: JSON Schema

Every receipt is converted to a consistent JSON schema designed for easy integration. The output includes vendor information (name, address, phone, tax ID when available), transaction metadata (date, time, receipt number), itemized line items with quantities and prices, and payment summary with subtotal, tax breakdown, and total.

Currency is automatically detected and output as ISO 4217 codes. Dates are normalized to ISO 8601 format regardless of how they appear on the original receipt. This consistency means you can process receipts from any country without writing custom parsing logic.

For developers, we provide OpenAPI specifications, Postman collections, and sample code in multiple languages. Webhooks notify your systems when batch processing completes, enabling fully automated expense pipelines.

Who This Is For

PDF to JSON conversion is the foundation for any automated expense workflow. Whether you're building internal tools or customer-facing products, structured receipt data unlocks powerful automation.
