Overview 📋
Tofu's multi-receipt cropping feature allows you to split images containing multiple receipts into separate documents. This is particularly useful when you've photographed several receipts together or have a single image with multiple invoices that need to be processed individually.
Please ensure the feature is toggled on by an Admin or Owner from the Organization settings before you proceed.
When to Use the Multi-Receipt Cropping Feature 🤔
Use the multi-receipt cropping tool when you have:
📸 Multiple receipts photographed in a single image
🧾 Several invoices placed side-by-side that were captured together
How to Crop a Multi-Receipt Page 🛠️
Step 1: Access the Multi-Receipt Cropping Tool ✂️
When viewing a page with multiple receipts, look for the scissors icon (✂️) in the top toolbar. The tooltip will show "Snippet the page."
Step 2: Select the Receipt Area 🎯
Click the scissors icon to activate the multi-receipt cropping tool
A selection box with draggable corner handles will appear on the image
Position the selection box around the first receipt you want to extract
Drag the corner handles to precisely frame the receipt boundaries
💡 Tip: Make sure the entire receipt is within the selection box, including all text and barcodes.
Step 3: Create the Snippet ✨
Once you've selected the desired area, the system will automatically create a snippet. You can then:
🔄 Reposition the selection box to capture additional receipts
➕ Create multiple snippets from the same source image
📐 Adjust each snippet's boundaries as needed
Step 4: Review Your Snipped Receipts✅
After creating snippets, you'll see them organized in the interface:
Source Documents panel: Shows your original image with all created snippets listed below it (Snippet 1, Snippet 2, Snippet 3, etc.)
Invoices panel: Displays the newly created invoices from each snippet
🔗 Each snippet is automatically linked to its corresponding invoice for easy tracking
After Snippeting 🎉
Once you've created your snippets:
📝 Each snippet becomes a separate invoice in Tofu
🤖 The system will extract data from each individual receipt
✏️ You can review and edit each invoice independently
📎 All snippets remain connected to the source document for reference
