📸 Document Scanning Capabilities

  • Scan Any Document:
    You can use the SparkReceipt mobile app or web uploader to scan contracts, letters, forms, notes, certificates, bills, and more — not just receipts.

  • High‑Quality Capture:
    The scanning tool captures clear, legible images and automatically crops and enhances files for readability.

  • Organize & Store:
    Once scanned, documents are stored, searchable, and taggable in your SparkReceipt library — helping you manage all your paperwork in one place.

  • Export Options:
    After scanning, you can export documents as PDF or image files, making it easy to share or archive your documents.


📌 How This Works in Practice

Even though SparkReceipt is tailored for expense management, its scanning feature behaves much like a standard document scanner:

  • Use your phone camera or upload files directly.

  • Scan multi‑page documents easily.

  • Save and organize scans alongside receipts and invoices.

This gives you the convenience of a dedicated scanner without needing a separate app.
