Extract Data from Invoices

About Invoice Data Extractor

Invoice Data Extractor pulls structured fields out of PDF and image invoices: invoice number, date, due date, vendor name, vendor tax ID, line items with quantity / unit price / total, subtotal, tax, and grand total. The extractor handles thirty-plus invoice templates out of the box — Stripe, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave, SAP, Oracle exports, and the long tail of small-business custom layouts — and outputs to CSV, JSON, or Excel for direct import into your accounting system.

Most online invoice extractors either require you to draw bounding boxes for every field on every invoice (tedious) or fail silently when the layout doesn't match their training set (worse). Ours combines OCR + table-structure recognition + named-entity extraction so vendor names, dates, and totals get found even when the invoice has no recognizable header. Confidence scores are surfaced per field so you know which lines need a human glance before bulk import. Free, no signup, runs in your browser.

How to Use Extract Data from Invoices

1. Step 1: Drop your invoice (PDF, PNG, JPG) into the drop zone — multiple files at once for bulk extraction
2. Step 2: The extractor runs OCR if needed, then identifies header fields and line-item tables (~3-8 seconds per invoice)
3. Step 3: Review extracted fields side-by-side with the source — low-confidence values are highlighted amber
4. Step 4: Edit any field that needs correction; the extractor learns the layout for subsequent invoices in the same session
5. Step 5: Click Export and pick your format: CSV for Excel, JSON for API integration, or QuickBooks IIF for direct AP import
