Why ScanPad
Nothing between your camera and the receipt.
The scan window stays physically open. That simple choice keeps the optical path clear, the receipt edges distinct, and each capture consistently framed.
Matte black contrast
The dark surround makes light receipt edges easier to identify.
Consistent framing
A fixed scan area helps Recipti capture long receipts in predictable sections.
Four simple steps
Print. Mount. Cut. Scan.
1
Print the template at 100% / Actual Size.
2
Mount
Attach it to matte black illustration board or heavy cardstock.
3
Cut
Cut out the marked 90 × 105 mm open scan window.
4
Scan
Place the receipt behind the frame and scan.
Long receipts
Made for receipts that don't fit in one shot.
Move the receipt down between captures while keeping part of the previous section visible. Recipti can use the overlap to support a more consistent segmented scanning workflow.
Keep 25–35% overlap
Leave part of the previous section visible in each capture.

Design story
Why we made it.
Receipt scanning has a surprisingly physical side. Curled thermal paper, long receipts, and reflective surfaces can all make capture harder.
Instead of adding more hardware, ScanPad removes things: no electronics, no transparent cover, no proprietary accessories. Just a stable matte surface and an open window.
