Image to Google Sheets Data Entry Service

No more retyping, uploading and downloading files, or everyone keeping their own copy. Open the spreadsheet and the data is already there.

Image to Google Sheets data entry: what do you get?

• The items you select from the photo, one per column; or the whole table as shown in the photo.
• Data written into the exact spreadsheet and sheet you specify.
• The whole team can view and update it right in one spreadsheet.

You get your data ready in your own Google Sheets: Our image to Google Sheets data entry service delivers photo to Google Sheets results straight into your spreadsheet.

Examples to help you picture it

Example 1: an online store photographs delivery notes at the end of each day and sends them to us. They have a Google spreadsheet with a "Deliveries" sheet containing columns for order ID, date, customer, product, quantity, and amount collected. After sending the photos, they open the spreadsheet and see that the sheet now contains all of that day's data, while the "Summary" sheet, which uses formulas to calculate revenue and draw charts, updates automatically with the new figures. This is a typical photo to Google Sheets workflow.

Example 2: a warehouse keeper photographs the goods-received notes for the day. The data goes into the "Goods received" sheet of the shared spreadsheet; accounting and management can open it and immediately see which items just arrived, with no one waiting for files by email.

Example 3: a company photographs a printed timesheet at the end of the month. The data goes into the "Timesheet" sheet with one row per employee and days worked in columns, ready for their existing payroll spreadsheet.

Grant access once, data goes into the spreadsheet automatically

For us to write data into your spreadsheet, just click Share and grant Editor access to an email address we provide, just like inviting another colleague to the file. You only do this once per spreadsheet. That is all it takes to import image data into Google Sheets automatically.

You stay in full control: you can revoke access at any time, and we only access the spreadsheet you shared, never other files in your Google Drive.

Convert images to Google Sheets, written into the exact sheet

When converting images to Google Sheets, data is written into the sheet you specify. If the sheet doesn't exist, we create it; if it does, its contents are updated with the latest results. Other sheets in the same spreadsheet are left untouched. Once access is set, you can convert images to Google Sheets as often as you like.

So our advice is to keep a dedicated sheet for data entered from photos, while your summary tables, charts, and formulas live on another sheet and update automatically with the new data. Teams that import image data into Google Sheets every day keep one raw-data sheet and build reports on others.

Table data entry from photos into Google Sheets

You have two ways to get the data. Choose the items you need, such as document number, date, partner name, total amount, plus columns from any line-item list; each item becomes a column. Or let us enter the table from the photo into Google Sheets exactly as it appears, keeping the column headers. You can also extract tables from images to Google Sheets exactly as they appear.

If a photo has many tables, each table can go on its own sheet, or they can be combined with a column noting the table name. Text outside the tables, such as titles, prepared by, and dates, stays on a general information sheet. That way, when you extract tables from images to Google Sheets, nothing gets mixed up.

Turn photos into Google Sheets for your whole team

Google Sheets is at its best when several people use it together: stock clerks, accountants, and store owners see the same set of figures, can open it on phone or computer, and edit history shows who changed what.

When you convert photos to Google Sheets this way, each new batch of photos goes into the same column structure, so your prebuilt charts and reports always get fresh data without being rebuilt. Every image to Google Sheets batch follows the same columns.

What if you don't want to share the spreadsheet?

If your company doesn't allow sharing, we can still deliver the result as an Excel file so you can upload it to Google Drive yourself and open it in Google Sheets. This is the simplest way to turn photos into Google Sheets without granting access to anyone outside your team. It is the simplest image to Google Sheets route when sharing is not allowed.
