I built img2sheet — converts images to spreadsheets. Just launched a Lifetime Deal.

Hey IH 👋

I want to share something I've been building — img2sheet, a tool that converts images of tables, invoices, receipts, or any data into a clean Google Sheet in seconds.

The problem I was solving:
I kept running into the same frustration — you have data trapped in a screenshot or a photo, and the only way to get it into a spreadsheet is to retype it manually. Boring, slow, and error-prone. So I built the thing I wished existed.

How it works:
Upload an image → img2sheet uses AI to extract and structure the data → exports it directly to Google Sheets. That's it.

Why BYOK (Bring Your Own OpenAI Key)?
I wanted users to stay in control of their own data and API costs. No black box, no markup on tokens. You connect your own OpenAI key and we handle the rest.

The Lifetime Deal:
Instead of a recurring subscription, I'm offering two one-time plans:

Starter — 1,000 credits/month for the lifetime of the product
Pro — 5,000 credits/month for the lifetime of the product

Pay once, no monthly billing.
(Credits renew monthly. Unused credits don't roll over.)

Where I'm at:
Still early days — would genuinely love feedback from this community. What would make this more useful for your workflow?

    The BYOK choice is the part I keep turning over. On one hand — yes, transparent, no token markup, users keep control. On the other, every BYOK product I've watched has a brutal activation cliff: people land excited, hit "paste your OpenAI key," and a chunk of them just… don't. Especially the receipts/invoices crowd, who are often non-technical ops people, not devs.

    I'd be curious what your conversion looks like from "signed up" to "first sheet exported." If it's healthy, ignore me. If it's leaking there, a hybrid (managed key with a small markup as default, BYOK as a power-user toggle) might unlock the audience that actually has this pain the worst — bookkeepers, e-com folks reconciling supplier invoices.

    I'm Shirley, building ZooClaw (AI agents for solo founders), so I think about this exact "who carries the API cost" question a lot, and I haven't fully figured it out either. Lifetime deal framing is smart for early cash + feedback though — that part I'd keep. 🙌

    Solid niche — the "photo to spreadsheet" use case comes up all the time when people have printed tables, scanned documents, or screenshots they need to work with. One thing worth validating: are users coming with an "I need this occasionally" mindset vs. "I need this in my regular workflow"? The first group often bounces after free tier. The second group will pay if accuracy is solid. How are you handling tables with merged cells or ones that span multiple pages? That tends to be the edge case that separates the tools people try once from the ones they actually keep.

    This hits a real pain point. The gap between "I have the data somewhere" and "it's in my spreadsheet" is usually just manual typing, and that's exactly the kind of boring overhead that piles up fast.

    One thing I'd add: the slowest part of that flow usually isn't OCR, it's getting the raw source in the first place. If the data starts as voice notes, field observations, or quick callouts, DictaFlow can turn those thoughts into text before they even become a screenshot to upload. Then img2sheet handles the structured extraction. The two tools cover different ends of the same problem.

    Have you thought about handling voice memo inputs instead of image uploads?

    I still can’t believe this is real, but I actually won the lottery jackpot! It feels like a dream come true. For years, I would occasionally play without expecting much, just hoping that one day luck would finally be on my side—and it finally happened when I came across a testimony on how Dr Benjamin the great spell caster had helped alot of people win, so I reached out to him, he told me what to do and I followed his instructions, after 48 hours he gave some numbers to play, I did played the numbers as instructed.

    The moment I checked my numbers and realized they all matched, my heart started racing. I had to double-check multiple times because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Winning the Powerball jackpot of $107,000,000,00. This has completely changed my life. It’s given me financial freedom, peace of mind, and the opportunity to support my family and invest in my future. Here are his contact information.

    Congratulations on the launch.
    I have a question. You are allowing BYOK for the users. Cant the user just use chatgpt to do the same thing as yours and also get more insights and understanding from there?
    Have you thought about how you would distinguish your product from the LLMs that are there currently.

    Hey Samir — really like how img2sheet tackles such a clear pain point. Converting messy image data into structured sheets is something a lot of workflows can benefit from, especially for ops, finance, and agencies.

    Quick question — have you thought about scaling distribution through partners (like creators, educators, or agencies) who could promote img2sheet?

    If that’s something you’re open to, I’d be happy to share a simple breakdown.

    img2sheet is clear, but it still sounds like the feature, not the product.

    That works while the job is narrow.
    It gets limiting the second this expands beyond screenshots into broader document/data ingestion.

    The stronger asset here is not “image to sheet.”
    It’s turning messy, unstructured business inputs into usable structured data.

    That’s a bigger category than the current name gives you.

    Xevoa.com would carry that expansion better if this becomes the ingestion layer instead of just an OCR utility.
