Receipt Scanner

The receipt scanner that keeps it private.

Point your camera at a receipt and Vellum does the rest: it finds the edges, straightens the page, sharpens the text and fills in the details for you. Nothing leaves your iPhone.

Edges found for you

Vellum looks for the paper as soon as the camera opens and locks on when it's steady, capturing automatically. Prefer to do it yourself? Drag each corner with a magnifier that shows exactly where it sits, with gentle snapping to the true edge.

  • Automatic capture when the page is steady
  • Edge detection for photos you already have
  • Enhanced mode for crisp, bright, readable scans

Scan & Fill

Scan a receipt and Vellum reads it on your iPhone, filling in the amount and a name for the entry. Check it, choose a category and you're done. The receipt is attached to the entry and named after it, so it's always easy to find.

Every kind of receipt

Scan several pages in one go for long invoices, pick a photo from your library, import a PDF from Files, or attach a link to an online invoice. Tap View Invoice on any entry, or in an exported PDF statement, to open it.

  • Multi-page scans
  • Photos, PDFs and links
  • Every receipt in one folder when you export, organised by card, year and month

Questions

Good to know.

Does the receipt scanner work offline?

Yes. Scanning, edge detection, enhancement and reading the total all happen on your iPhone, so no internet connection is needed and nothing is uploaded.

Can I scan an invoice with several pages?

Yes. Scan as many pages as you need in one go, and they're kept together as one attachment on the entry.

Can I export all my receipts?

Yes. Export every receipt as one ZIP file, organised by card, year and month, or include them in the Accountant Pack alongside your statement and spreadsheet.

Every penny,
beautifully kept.
