Scan paper receipts from your phone
Not every receipt arrives by email. Photograph a paper receipt with your phone, or upload a saved PDF, then review it and send it to the same destination as your inbox receipts.
- Scan paper receipts with your phone camera
- Auto edge-detection, flash control, and crop — multiple pages into one PDF
- Install it on your phone — no app store required
How it works
- 1
Capture or upload
Photograph a paper receipt, or upload a PDF or image that never came through email.
- 2
Review the document
Confirm the file and forwarding details before anything is sent.
- 3
Forward when ready
Send it to QuickBooks, Xero, Expensify, or your accountant with the same one-click handoff.
A real scanner in your pocket
Sharp scans, automatically
Edge detection finds the receipt, flash handles bad lighting, and auto-crop cleans up the shot.
Multi-page receipts
Combine several pages into a single clean PDF before you send.
Upload anything saved
Drag in PDFs or images you downloaded — e-invoices, statements, anything outside the inbox.
Works as an app
Install Expensent to your home screen and capture receipts on the spot, wherever you are.

Common questions
Do scanned receipts use a separate workflow?
No. From the dashboard, paper receipts and uploaded files open in a final review before they are sent to your configured destination. Action Center also lets you upload proof for items in Download Required.
When should I upload a file instead of scanning it?
Upload a saved PDF or image when the receipt already exists on your device, such as a downloaded statement or vendor portal invoice. Use the camera scanner when you only have a paper receipt and want a clean digital copy.
