How it works

How to convert an image to CSV

The clearer the picture, the less there is to check.

  1. price-list.jpg

    Step 1

    Upload the image

    JPG, PNG or HEIC. A screenshot works better than a photo.

  2. Step 2

    Choose Only tables

    It finds the table and skips the text around it.

  3. ItemPrice
    Coffee3.50
    Bagel2.75
    Juice4.20

    Step 3

    Check the columns

    Look at the header row and any small digits.

  4. Get your tables by email

    name@email.com
    Email me my tables

    Step 4

    Get your CSV

    Pick CSV and enter your email. The file arrives in your inbox.

Tips

How to get a clean table from a picture

The picture decides most of the result. Four things help.

  • Screenshot if you can

    A screenshot has no angle, shadow or blur.

  • Crop to the table

    Cut out the text around it before you upload.

  • Shoot straight on

    Hold the phone flat above the page, not at an angle.

  • Use good light

    Even light with no shadow across the numbers.

Try it on your image

Upload a JPG, PNG or HEIC. Get back a CSV or Excel file.

FAQ

Questions people ask

I want to put image links into a CSV, not read a table from an image.
That's a different job. Upload the images to your store or host, copy their URLs, and paste them into a column of your spreadsheet.
Can I do this in Python instead?
Yes, with an OCR library and pandas. It's worth it for a repeating job inside something you're building. For one image, it's slower than this.
Could I just ask ChatGPT?
For a small, clear table, often yes. It may guess at a cell it can't read, and on a big image it can stop partway. Check the output either way.
How accurate is it?
Good on clear photos and screenshots. Check it against the picture before you rely on it. We haven't measured an accuracy figure for images, so we don't publish one.
What happens to my image?
We read it and email you the file. The image is deleted within 24 hours.
Do I need an account?
No. Enter any email and the file comes to you. The email also links to your tables in Mammoth; if you're new, opening it creates your account, with no password to set.
I need a spreadsheet, not a CSV.
Download it from Mammoth as Excel and you get an .xlsx file instead.
What image formats can I use?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF and HEIC. HEIC is the format most iPhone photos are saved in.
Will my table's formatting survive?
No. A CSV holds the values only, so colours, borders and merged cells are not kept.
Does it read handwriting?
We haven't tested it on handwriting. It's built for printed and on-screen tables.
I do this every month.
Mammoth can do it for you. Put the images in a folder and each one is added to the same table automatically.

Extract, clean and send it on, every week
