Uploading receipt images from your photo library

If you already have a photo of your receipt in your phone Photos library or Files app, you can attach it directly to an expense without re-scanning.

Steps

1
Open the expense editor
Create a new expense or tap Edit on an existing one.
2
Tap Add Attachment
In the Attachments section, tap "Add Attachment".
3
Choose a source
Select "Photo Library" to pick from your phone Photos app, or "Files" to browse PDFs and images saved in iCloud Drive or other file providers.
4
Select the image or PDF
Tap the file you want to attach. For multiple images, use the multi-select mode in the Photos picker.
5
Review and apply OCR
After attaching the image, MileLedger runs on-device OCR and pre-fills the Merchant and Amount fields if legible values are found. Review these before saving.
6
Save
Tap Save. The image is attached to the expense.

Stored formats: JPEG (photos from camera or library) and PDF (document scanner multi-page). Photos are compressed and saved as JPEG on device.
Up to 12 attachments per expense.
OCR is applied to uploaded images in the same way as scanned documents, but quality depends on the clarity of the original photo.
