📸 Bulk Google Photos Import - One of several ways to capture receipts in ExpenseBot. Complements Gmail auto-scan, bulk PDF upload, forwarding, and more.
How Our Photo Receipt Scanner Works
Upload any receipt photo — from Google Photos, your camera roll, or a direct upload — and our photo receipt scanner extracts the vendor, date, total, tax, and currency in seconds using AI-powered OCR. No typing, no manual entry.
The photo receipt scanner handles crumpled, faded, or partial receipts that traditional OCR tools miss. It recognizes over 50,000 vendors out of the box and maps each receipt to the correct expense category for your tax forms (Schedule C, T2125, or custom). Every extracted receipt is exported to Google Sheets in your own Drive — your photos and data stay in your Google account, never on our servers.
Start with a single receipt to test the photo receipt scanner, or bulk-import up to 100 at once from Google Photos. Either way, you'll see the vendor, amount, and date extracted automatically. If your receipts live on iPhone instead, the iPhone receipt scanner covers the camera-roll workflow with a one-tap Apple Shortcut, and the receipt organizer app ties every capture method into one searchable archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan receipts that are saved in Google Photos?
Open ExpenseBot, connect Google Photos, and search 'receipts' in your camera roll. Select the ones you want — up to 100 at a time — and tap Import. AI reads every receipt, extracts vendor, amount, date, and tax, and drops each one into your Google Sheet with a link back to the original image.
Can I bulk-export receipts from Google Photos into a spreadsheet?
Yes. That's the core feature. Select 100 receipts from Google Photos, and ExpenseBot processes them in parallel into a single Google Sheets row per receipt — vendor, amount, date, tax, category, and the original image link. Years of receipts become a spreadsheet in a few batches.
Does Google Photos have a built-in receipt scanner?
No. Google Photos doesn't auto-extract receipt data — it stores and searches your images but won't pull out vendor, amount, or date. ExpenseBot adds that layer: it reads each receipt image with AI and writes the extracted fields into a Google Sheet in your own Drive.
Can I scan 100+ receipts at once from Google Photos?
Yes — 100 per batch is the import limit, but there's no limit on how many batches you can run. Users regularly process 500-1,000 receipts across 5-10 batches in a single afternoon. Each batch runs in the background; you don't have to wait between them.
How far back can I go?
As far back as your Google Photos history goes. If you have receipt photos from years ago, you can import them in batches — no limit on historical depth.
Will ExpenseBot see all my photos, or just the ones I pick?
Just the ones you pick. ExpenseBot uses Google's Photo Picker, which means we only see the specific images you select in that session. We never scan your full library, never see family photos or anything else. Each import is explicit and scoped.
Does ExpenseBot store my photos?
No. Everything is stored in YOUR Google Drive. We never see or store your photos on our servers. You choose what to import.
Are Google Photos receipts accepted by the IRS or CRA for tax purposes?
Yes. Digital images of receipts are accepted by both the IRS (Rev. Proc. 97-22) and the CRA as long as they're legible and stored securely. ExpenseBot keeps the original image linked to each spreadsheet row, so you have an auditable trail: vendor, amount, date, category, and the source photo — exactly what tax authorities ask for.
Can I delete photos after processing?
Yes! After import, you can delete receipts from your camera roll. All data is safely stored in your Google Drive spreadsheet with links to the receipt images.
What if the photo quality is poor?
Our AI handles poor quality, crumpled receipts, and even handwritten notes. If data can't be extracted, you can manually enter it.
