Point PDF Insight at a folder of scan0042.pdf and IMG_1187.jpg receipts. It reads each one and suggests a clear, consistent filename you can search and sort. It all runs on your own computer.
Scanners and phones name files for their own convenience: scan0042.pdf, IMG_1187.jpg, numerisation-7.pdf. A year of business receipts and bank statements becomes a folder where you cannot tell the Hydro-Québec bill from the gas receipt without opening each one.
When it is time to do the books, or hand a year of expenses to your accountant, that opacity costs real hours. Renaming a hundred files by hand is the kind of tedious work everyone postpones until the deadline makes it urgent and error-prone.
From scanner gibberish to names you can read, search and sort.

… consistent date vendor type
Drop in scanned PDFs, phone photos and bank statements as they are, French and English mixed.
On-device OCR reads the page, including faint thermal receipts and photos, and a local model works out the date, vendor and document type.
Set your convention once, for example date vendor type, and it suggests a consistent name for every file. Anything it cannot read confidently is left untouched and flagged.
Edit any suggested name, then apply the batch. Nothing is renamed until you confirm, and nothing was uploaded to read the files.
Receipts and statements carry amounts, account numbers and addresses. In the default local tier, PDF Insight reads the page and suggests names entirely on-device. There is no upload, no server, and no third-party copy of a financial document to breach.
Yes. You define the pattern once, for example date, vendor and document type, and PDF Insight applies it consistently across the batch. You can edit any proposed name before it is applied.
Yes. On-device OCR reads scanned PDFs, photographed receipts and images so it can suggest a meaningful name, all without uploading the file.
No. In the default local tier the reading and renaming happen on your own computer. Receipts and statements never leave your machine.
No tool reads every receipt perfectly, especially faint thermal paper. PDF Insight proposes names and lets you review and edit them before anything is renamed.
PDF Insight reads scanned receipts and statements and suggests clear, consistent filenames on your own Mac or PC, on-device and bilingual. Try it free for 14 days, no card required.
