How to scan receipts into one PDF

Before you convert

• Photograph receipts in good light and on a flat surface.
• Keep each receipt fully inside the frame.
• Avoid heavy shadows and blurry captures.

Receipt to PDF workflow

1. Open JPEGtoPDF.io and add all receipt photos.
2. Sort by date using drag-and-drop order (oldest to newest).
3. Use 1 image per page for readability.
4. Set margins to 5 to 10 mm and background to white.
5. Enable Strip metadata for privacy.
6. Export one PDF and rename it by month, for example 2026-03-expenses.pdf.

Best settings for expense teams

• Finance uploads: Letter page, 150 DPI, medium compression.
• Archival copies: 200 to 300 DPI, lower compression for better clarity.
• Email-friendly: 120 DPI, moderate to high compression.

Pro organization tip

Make one PDF per month or per project. This speeds up approvals and keeps audits easy. Include a clear filename and consistent order.
