Image to Excel

What Image to Excel is

A converter that reads tables out of pictures. Photograph or scan a table and it returns a spreadsheet you can sort and calculate on.

It is aimed at the entry work that still starts with someone holding a paper document.

What you can do with it

• Recognise a table in a photo or scan
• Export the result to Excel
• Enter bill and invoice data without typing
• Digitise paper forms
• Prepare report data from screenshots
• Check and correct the output in the sheet

Who it is for

• Finance and accounting staff
• Operations and administration teams
• Researchers collecting tabular data
• Anyone transcribing tables by hand

What to watch out for

• Blurry images, merged cells and complex headers cause errors and need checking
• Financial figures must be verified before they reach accounts
• Documents containing personal or payment data need a privacy check before upload
• Column structure often needs manual tidying
