You tried the bigger invoice tools already. The problem was not that they were too simple. The problem was that they turned a small irritation into another system to maintain.

Burned-by-Bloat Ben
Remove the invoice copy-paste without signing up for another bloated system.
ZeroPaste gives spreadsheet-first teams a lighter way to extract invoice data, review what matters, and move on without a setup-heavy rollout standing in the way.
Built for people who wanted less software, not one more platform.
5 free docs. No card required. Spreadsheet-first from the first test.
The pain
The old tools did not fail because they were too small. They failed because they asked too much of a simple workflow.
What should have been a quick fix for PDF-to-spreadsheet work started to feel like a rollout, not a relief.
You still needed the rows. You just did not need extra overhead, longer document retention, or another platform trying to become the center of your workflow.
Relief
A cleaner workflow when all you wanted was the rows
ZeroPaste is deliberately restrained. It solves the repetitive transfer step first, keeps review visible, and leaves the rest of your workflow alone.
01
Keep the inputs exactly where they already are
Upload PDFs, forward supplier emails, or use Snap for paper invoices without rebuilding the rest of your process first.
02
Extract the fields that actually matter
ZeroPaste pulls vendor, invoice date, invoice number, total, VAT, currency, and due date into a spreadsheet-first review flow.
03
Review the uncertain parts, not every single field
Confidence scoring makes the human review step faster without pretending you should stop checking the work.
04
Export clean rows or optionally create Xero draft bills
You stay in control of the handoff. Spreadsheet first, optional Xero later, no forced platform commitment on day one.
Trust
Built for teams that want less overhead and clearer boundaries
No setup-heavy migration before first value. Start with real invoices in under 3 minutes.
Original invoice files are automatically deleted within 24 hours or immediately on user request.
Processed on EU servers only. No training on your data.
Built to remove the manual entry step, not to trap you inside a larger finance stack.
Objection killers
The reasons Ben pushes back are exactly what this page is meant to answer
I have already been burned by tools that felt heavier than the actual problem
That is exactly why ZeroPaste stays narrow. It extracts invoice data and optionally delivers it. It does not try to become your bookkeeping system.
I do not want another integration project
You do not need one. ZeroPaste works spreadsheet-first immediately. Optional Xero draft bills are there only if and when that helps.
I do not want my documents sitting around forever
They do not. Original invoice files are automatically deleted within 24 hours or immediately on user request.
I still need human review
Good. This is designed around that. Confidence scoring helps you focus your review instead of pretending review is unnecessary.
Final step
Try the lighter path before you commit to anything heavier again.
Start with five real invoices. If it removes the manual entry pain without adding new overhead, you will feel the difference quickly.
ZeroPaste extracts and optionally delivers. It does not reconcile, classify, file, or post transactions.
Original invoice files are automatically deleted within 24 hours or immediately on user request. Processed on EU servers. No training on your data.
