Grab Tracking Number, Delivery Status, and the Scan Timeline from Any Carrier Tracking Page Screenshot
Manually copying tracking numbers and scan events from carrier tracking pages into a spreadsheet takes 3 minutes per package — this grabs tracking number, current status, and delivery date in 5-10 seconds per screenshot.

What You Can Pull from a Carrier Tracking Page
A carrier tracking page mixes scan events, progress bars, and banners in one view. With Custom Column Extraction, the AI reads fields by meaning — so the same columns work on UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS.
UPS 1Z codes, FedEx digits, USPS UPU, DHL 10-digit — different format per carrier.
Identified by page branding, logo, or tracking number prefix — even without an explicit carrier name.
"Out for Delivery," "On FedEx vehicle" — same event, different phrasing across carriers.
Cities, states, or postal codes — placed differently on each carrier's page.
Scheduled or committed delivery date — sometimes single, sometimes a range.
The most recent scan event — city, timestamp, and status — from the carrier's timeline.
This Isn't a Table — It's a Carrier-Branded Tracking Page With a Scan Timeline
A carrier tracking page packs shipment headers, a scan timeline, and interface chrome into one view. Here is why each is harder to extract than it looks — and how semantic extraction resolves it.
UPS renders tracking as a progress bar with collapsible rows. FedEx uses modular cards. DHL uses a vertical icon timeline. USPS uses a table layout. The same six data points shift to different zones on every carrier's page.
"Delivered" on UPS. "Delivered, Left at Front Door" on FedEx. "Delivered - Signed for by" on USPS. Four carriers, four phrasings. As one Reddit user described manual tracking: "Right now we do this manually, by typing out the receiver, sender, and tracking number of each package into an excel spreadsheet."
Tracking pages embed "Sign up for alerts!" banners, cross-sell CTAs, and sidebar ads alongside scan events. Traditional OCR reads everything as one block, mixing tracking data with marketing noise.
With Custom Column Extraction, you type column names once — and the AI locates each value by what the label means, not where it sits. A sequence of digits next to "Tracking Number" is recognized as tracking data whether on UPS's progress bar or DHL's timeline.
The AI understands delivery-stage semantics. "Out for Delivery," "On FedEx vehicle," and "Your item is out for delivery" are recognized as the same stage. Add a Carrier column to preserve which carrier's phrasing applies.
The AI scans the full page and distinguishes tracking data from promotional content. "Sign up for alerts" banners, cross-sell widgets, and sidebar CTAs are identified as interface chrome — only shipment data populates your spreadsheet.
From a Carrier Tracking Page Screenshot to One Spreadsheet Row
If you are logging incoming packages, tracking outbound shipments for customer support, or reconciling delivery statuses across carriers — here is what happens when you drop a tracking page screenshot into the tool.
Upload the tracking page screenshot
Drop a tracking page screenshot from any carrier — UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, or Amazon Logistics. Full-resolution screenshots that capture the entire tracking page (including the scan event timeline and estimated delivery section) work best. Compressed images forwarded through chat apps may reduce clarity on smaller text like scan timestamps.
Name the fields you need
Type your column headers: Tracking Number, Carrier, Current Status, Origin, Destination, Estimated Delivery Date, Last Scan Location/Time. The AI maps each label on the tracking page — "Tracking ID," "Shipment Progress," "Delivered To," "Scheduled Delivery" — to the right column, regardless of where it appears on the carrier's unique page layout.
Export to Excel — one row per package
Each tracking page screenshot becomes a row in your spreadsheet, with every field in the column you defined. Tracking number in the Tracking Number column. "Out for Delivery" in Current Status. "2026-08-03" in Estimated Delivery Date. Batch 20 mixed-carrier screenshots and the output is one clean spreadsheet — no carrier API keys, no IT approval, no per-carrier templates.
Where Carrier Tracking Page Extraction Works — and Where to Be Cautious
Honest boundaries set the right expectation — especially when extraction output feeds tracking logs others depend on.
- ✓
Clear tracking page screenshots from carrier websites or apps, with readable label-value pairs and scan events.
- ✓
Mixed-carrier batch processing — UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS pages together under the same column definitions, no per-carrier config.
- ✓
Regular status logging — daily or weekly snapshots that replace manual copy-paste from carrier portals.
- ⚠
This extracts tracking data from screenshots, not carrier APIs. It reads what is visible on the image at capture — it does not track in real-time or auto-refresh when a delivery event occurs.
- ⚠
Heavy promotional content may partially obscure scan details. Upsell banners, "Sign up for alerts!" CTAs, or cross-sell widgets that overlay the timeline can reduce extraction completeness.
- ⚠
Localized pages in non-English languages may require language-specific column definitions (Deutsche Post DHL, La Poste, Correos, etc.).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS tracking page screenshots in the same batch?
Yes. Define one set of columns — Tracking Number, Carrier, Current Status, Origin, Destination, Estimated Delivery Date — and the AI processes every tracking page screenshot in the batch using the same definitions. UPS 18-character 1Z codes, FedEx 12-15 digit numbers, USPS 20-22 digit UPU codes, and DHL 10-digit IDs all land in the same Tracking Number column. No need to sort screenshots by carrier before uploading.
Will the Current Status column recognize "Out for Delivery" (UPS) and "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" as the same delivery state?
Yes. The AI reads the semantic meaning of each status phrase, not the exact wording. "Out for Delivery" (UPS), "On FedEx vehicle for delivery," and "Your item is out for delivery" (USPS) are all recognized as the same delivery stage. The extracted value preserves the carrier's original phrasing in the Current Status column, and the separate Carrier column lets you distinguish which carrier's terminology applies when you review the spreadsheet.
Can the tool extract the full scan event history from a tracking page — not just the current status?
The AI reads all visible scan events on the tracking page that appear within the screenshot frame. Each scan event — city, state, timestamp, and status description — is extracted into the Last Scan Location/Time column. However, because a screenshot captures only one viewport, scan events that require scrolling below the visible area are not included in a single image. For tracking histories spanning multiple screens, multiple screenshots covering the full scroll range will capture the complete timeline. The tool reads what is visible — it does not paginate through carrier pages.
What if the carrier tracking page has promotional banners that overlap the tracking data?
The AI scans the full visual scene and distinguishes shipment tracking data from interface chrome and promotional content. "Sign up for delivery alerts" banners, cross-sell CTAs, and sidebar widgets are identified as non-tracking elements and excluded from extraction. However, if a promotional overlay partially covers a scan event's timestamp or location text — such as a modal dialog that appears on top of the timeline — the obscured text may not be readable. For the most complete extraction, take the screenshot when no promotional modals are open.
How should I handle multi-package shipments that show several tracking statuses on one page?
When a single tracking page lists multiple packages (common with FedEx Freight, UPS SurePost, or DHL multi-piece shipments), each package's tracking number and status appear in the same screenshot. The AI reads all visible tracking numbers and statuses from the page. For best results, define additional columns like Package Count or Item Description to capture multi-package details. If the packages have individual scan timelines that require scrolling, separate screenshots per package ensure complete coverage.
