The app
A simple receipt scanner app
DafScan scans receipts into clear PDFs and keeps them on your phone. It is free, with no ads and no account. It is a scanner, not an expense tracker: it does not read totals or build reports.

How to scan a receipt
- Flatten the receipt and put it on a dark surface.
- Open DafScan, tap Scan and hold the phone above it.
- For a long receipt, scan it in two or three overlapping parts. Each part becomes a page.
- Tap Save. Share the PDF when you need to send it.
Keeping receipts in order
- Keep one document per trip, project or month, and add each new receipt as a page.
- Scan a receipt the day you get it. Thermal paper fades, sometimes within months.
- When you file expenses, share the whole document as one PDF instead of a dozen photos.
When you need more than a scanner
If you want totals extracted, categories or reports sent to an accounting tool, you need an expense app. Those usually work by uploading your receipts to their servers. If all you need is a readable copy that stays with you, a scanner is enough.
Questions
Is a scanned receipt accepted for expenses or taxes?
Often, but the rules differ between employers, accountants and countries. Check before you throw the paper away.
Does DafScan read the amounts on a receipt?
No. It gives you a clean PDF of the receipt. It does not extract totals or track spending.
Are my receipts uploaded anywhere?
No. They are stored on your phone and leave it only when you share them.
Can I earn rewards by scanning receipts with DafScan?
No. DafScan is a document scanner, not a cashback or rewards app. It makes a PDF copy of your receipt and nothing else.
