Frequently asked questions
How is the total amount detected?
The tool looks for a line containing "total" near a currency amount first; if none is found, it falls back to the last money-formatted number on the receipt.
What if the detected data is wrong?
OCR on receipts (small print, folds, glare) isn't perfect — always double-check the detected vendor, date and amount before importing.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free on FreeToolsNets, with no sign-up and no limits.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript — nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.
