Name every scan by what's inside it.

Drop in a pile of invoices, receipts or statements — even phone photos. TidyFello reads each file on your device, finds the date, business and amount, and renames the whole batch in seconds. So scan0481.pdf becomes 2026-03-14_AcmeCorp_INV-4471.pdf.

Uploading photos or scans? A few tips for the best read:
  • Shoot straight-on. Hold the camera flat above the receipt, not at an angle — skewed photos read poorly.
  • Keep the text sharp and well-lit. Blurry, dark or crumpled receipts may misread a digit or two.
  • Get the whole document in frame on a plain background, filling most of the shot.
  • Photos take longer. Each image is read on your device and takes a few seconds; digital PDFs are near-instant. If you have a real PDF, prefer it.
  • Always glance at the suggested name before downloading — every name is editable, so you have the final say.

How it works

No magic. No black box. No upload.

Watch a junk filename become a tidy one — in three steps that all happen on your own machine. You approve every name before a single file is saved.

1

It reads the file

TidyFello opens each file right here in your browser and pulls out the words. Digital PDFs are instant; phone photos and scans are read on-device with OCR.

2

It spots the details

Smart, Australia-aware rules pick out the date, business, reference number and amount — then drop them into the name pattern you choose.

Questions

Good to know

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?

No — this is the whole point. Everything, from reading the files to extracting the text to building the ZIP, happens on your device in your browser. Your documents never touch a server. You could disconnect your internet after the page loads and it would still work. That's why it's safe for confidential client files, financial records and legal documents.

Can it read photos of receipts and scanned documents?

Yes. Drop in a photo or scan (JPG, PNG, HEIC, or an image-only PDF) and TidyFello reads the text right on your device using built-in OCR — no upload, still completely private. Perfect for tax-time receipts snapped on your phone. Two honest notes: photos take a few seconds each to read (digital PDFs are near-instant), and accuracy depends on the photo — a sharp, straight-on, well-lit shot reads far better than a blurry or angled one. Always glance at the suggested name before downloading; every name is editable.

How accurate is it on phone photos?

On clean digital PDFs it's effectively exact. On photos it's very good but not perfect — OCR reads around 85–95% depending on image quality, so it can occasionally misread a digit or pick the wrong line for the business. Two honest limits: very blurry or low-resolution photos may not read at all (TidyFello flags these so you know to retake or fix them), and handwritten text can't be read reliably. TidyFello flags anything it read from an image and lets you fix any name in one click, so a wrong guess is always visible and correctable — it never silently mangles a file. For best results, follow the photo tips shown above the tool.

Is the free version actually useful, or crippled?

Free does the everyday job in full: rename up to 10 files at a time by date, business, number, amount or type, with any separator you like. Pro is built for bigger jobs — up to 500 files per batch, plus the option to add GST, ABN and BAS-quarter to your filenames, folder-sorting by business, and a CSV summary of the batch. The core renaming is, and always will be, free. Pro is $9.99/month and you can cancel anytime.

Will it mess up my original files?

It can't. TidyFello only reads your originals and writes brand-new renamed copies into a downloadable ZIP. The originals on your computer are never touched, moved or deleted.
