The problem

Tax season hits and you're staring at a shoebox of crumpled receipts. The IRS wants to see proof of business expenses; your accountant wants digital copies; your future self in three years (if you get audited) will want them legible. Photos in your camera roll aren't organized, aren't backed up to the right place, and look like phone photos, not records.

The fix

Take a photo of each receipt — PDFThis crops, deskews, and converts each one into a clean, scanner-quality PDF you can drop into a folder named '2026 Receipts'. The PDFs print clearly, attach cleanly to emails, and look like real records rather than phone snapshots. The IRS accepts digital records under Rev. Proc. 97-22, so legibility is the only thing that matters.

What you get

  • Crops the receipt out of whatever background you photographed it on — useful when you're snapping a quick shot at a restaurant table.
  • Deskews — receipts photographed at an angle come out as flat rectangles, the way they look in a real scan.
  • Cleans up faded thermal receipts — adaptive thresholding rescues low-contrast text that direct photos often blow out.
  • Each receipt becomes its own PDF named after the original photo, so you can organize them in a folder structure that matches your accounting.
