Which files can I upload?
PDF, photos (JPG, PNG, HEIC from iPhone and Mac, TIFF, WebP, BMP), saved web pages (HTML), Word, Excel, CSV, text, emails (EML), ZIP folders, and Apple Pages or Numbers files where a preview is stored.
There is no practical size limit for bills. Very large files over 200 MB should be split.
Tips for clear bills
- Download the PDF from your utility app or website when you can.
- If you take a photo, lay the bill flat, use daylight, and keep all four corners in view.
- One file per bill is best. ZIP folders and emails also work.
