Frequently Asked Questions

What is Splytsy?

Splytsy is a bill-splitting app. Upload a photo of a receipt and it figures out who owes what — no manual entry or math.

How do I split a bill?

Upload a receipt photo, add the people who were there, then tap each item to assign it to whoever ordered it. Items shared by multiple people split evenly between them.

Is Splytsy free?

Yes — it's a personal project, not a product. No ads, no subscriptions.

How is tax split?

Tax is always split proportionally, based on what each person actually ordered — this isn't something you can toggle, since tax is legally tied to what was purchased.

How is tip split?

You choose: proportional (matches what each person ordered) or split evenly across everyone at the table. There's a toggle on each receipt.

What if the receipt gets scanned wrong?

Receipt scanning uses AI and isn't perfect, especially on blurry photos. There's currently no way to edit a merchant name, total, or item once it's scanned — if something looks off, delete the receipt and re-upload a clearer photo.

How do I send the split to my friends?

Use the Share button on a receipt — it generates a clean image of the breakdown you can send however you'd like (text, any payment app, etc).

Is my data private?

Your receipts are only visible to your account — other users can't see or access them. That said, anyone can create an account, so avoid photographing receipts with sensitive info on them (e.g. a full card number).

What image formats can I upload?

PNG, JPG/JPEG, WEBP, and GIF.
