# How to Convert Scanned Invoices to Excel
Your client sends a tilted phone photo of a paper invoice. You need that data in Excel. Typing it is the slow answer — AI extraction is the fast one.
| Traditional OCR | AI Vision |
|---|---|
| Shape-matches characters; struggles with tilted scans | Understands layout — corrects tilt and detects text position |
| Sees "1,250.00" but doesn't know if it's tax or total | Knows the bottom-right number is the total |
| Produces unstructured text | Produces labeled columns: Vendor, Number, Date, Total |
What to look for
To convert scanned invoices to Excel, pick a tool with AI (not OCR-only), automatic tilt correction, multi-format support (JPG, PNG, PDF), and direct Excel/CSV export.
AI handles light glare, folds, handwritten amounts, and multi-column layouts. OCR doesn't.
In short:- Look for AI vision tools with automatic tilt correction — not basic OCR, which drops to 30–50% accuracy on angled or crumpled scans.
- AI understands document layout: it knows a number at the bottom-right is the total, not a line-item subtotal.
- For occasional scans, use a free tool (10 invoices/month at no cost); for regular processing, batch upload with direct Excel/CSV export.
