Extract Amount, Counterparty, and Date from Any LINE Pay Screenshot
Manually copying LINE Pay transaction details from chat screenshots means working with a LINE display name that could be a real name, a nickname, or a single emoji — and a date format that changes between the Japanese, Thai, and Taiwanese versions of the app. Each payment takes over a minute to record correctly. This extracts amount, counterparty, and date from any LINE Pay screen in 5 seconds.

Four Fields That Matter on a LINE Pay Screen
A LINE Pay payment screenshot carries four data points worth keeping — but only two of them are reliable without context. With Custom Column Extraction, you name the columns you need and the AI locates each value on the screen by understanding what the field means, not where it sits in the layout — so the Japanese, Thai, and Taiwanese variants all produce the same columns.
Three Markets, Three Date Formats, One Unreliable Name
A LINE Pay screenshot looks clean — amount, name, date. Three quirks in how the app works across markets make it harder to log reliably than the card suggests.
A Name That Is Not an Identity
LINE lets users set their display name to anything — a real name, a nickname, "Mom," or a single emoji. Each payment shows whatever the sender's name was at that moment. Freelancers on forums report the same client appearing as different names across screenshots with no way to link them without the hidden transaction ID.
Dates That Belong to Different Calendars
LINE Pay serves three markets with different date conventions. Thai screenshots use the Buddhist calendar (2568 BE). Taiwanese screenshots use ROC or Gregorian. Japan used YYYY/MM/DD. The chat card shows a relative "2 hours ago" — the absolute date only appears in the detail view.
Japan's 2025 Shutdown Left a Backlog of Screenshots
LINE Pay Japan ended service on April 30, 2025, migrating users to PayPay. Anyone who used LINE Pay in Japan now has years of historical screenshots — old payments, expense records, client transactions — that need reconciling against a new system with a completely different interface.
Semantic Reading Catches the Display Name — Every Time
Define Counterparty as your column and the AI reads whichever display name appears on the screenshot — emoji, nickname, or full name — and drops it directly into the cell. It reads the label next to the name, not a coordinate, so it works whether the sender's name is two characters or twenty.
Detail Page Gets the Right Calendar Format
Chat card screenshots return the relative timestamp. Wallet tab or individual transaction detail page screenshots return the absolute date in whatever local format LINE Pay uses for that market. Define a Date column, and the AI returns the most precise value available from whichever screen you captured.
Batch Legacy Japan Screenshots Alongside New Transactions
Old LINE Pay Japan screenshots and new PayPay screenshots can be processed together in a single batch with the same column definitions. Add a Source column to tag each row — the AI picks up "LINE Pay" or "PayPay" from the visual branding — and the export gives you one unified table across the migration gap.
From a LINE Pay Chat Card to a Spreadsheet Row in Seconds
If you're logging LINE Pay payments — freelance income from LINE clients in Taiwan, vendor payments in Thailand, or old Japanese screenshots to reconcile after the PayPay migration — here's what happens when you drop a screenshot into the tool.
Upload the Screenshot
Upload the LINE Pay screenshot — chat card payment confirmation, Wallet tab transaction history, or the individual transaction detail page. Japanese, Thai, and Taiwanese interface variants are all handled by the same extraction, because the AI reads fields by their meaning, not by pixel position.
Name the Columns
Define your column headers: Amount, Counterparty, Date, Transaction ID, Source. The AI interprets each column name semantically — it knows that "Counterparty" means the sender's display name and "Date" means the timestamp visible on the screen, regardless of the calendar format used.
Export the Row
The output lands as rows in a spreadsheet — one row per screenshot, with fields aligned under your named columns regardless of whether the source was a Thai payment, a Taiwanese merchant transaction, or a pre-2025 Japanese record. Export to Excel, CSV, or push directly into Google Sheets via the add-on.
When LINE Pay Screenshot Extraction Works Best — and When It Doesn't
When It Works Best
Clear payment screenshots from the LINE app. Direct screenshots of the payment card or Wallet tab produce the most reliable results — amounts, names, and dates are clearly readable.
Batch cross-platform processing. The same column set extracts from LINE Pay, PayPay, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle screenshots in one export — useful for reconciling across payment apps.
Legacy Japan screenshot migration. Processing old LINE Pay Japan screenshots alongside current PayPay transactions replaces manual cross-referencing with a single export plus a Source column.
When to Be Cautious
Compressed or cropped screenshots. Forwarded screenshots lose resolution. The AI still outperforms OCR, but spot-check amounts from copies.
Transaction ID requires the detail page. The 19-digit ID only appears on the transaction detail page inside the Wallet tab. Chat card screenshots do not show it — capture the detail page if this field is essential.
Refunded and pending payments. Older LINE Pay UIs show refunds as reverse amounts without a "refund" label. Pending payments show an estimated window, not a settled date. Wait for completed status when accuracy matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract the sender's legal name from a LINE Pay screenshot?
No. LINE Pay shows the sender's LINE display name, which is freely editable by the user — it could be a real name, a nickname, a single emoji, or something unrelated. No verified legal name or permanent @handle appears on any standard payment screen. The 19-digit Transaction ID (available on the detail page) is the only stable identifier for matching payments to the correct person in your records.
Why does the date on my LINE Pay screenshot look different each time?
LINE Pay operates in three markets with independent date conventions. Thai screenshots may show the Buddhist calendar year (2568 BE = 2025 CE). Taiwanese screenshots may use the ROC calendar (year 114) or standard Gregorian. Former Japanese screenshots use YYYY/MM/DD. The chat card also shows a relative timestamp like "2 hours ago" instead of an absolute date. The AI reads whatever date format is visible on the screen — you can standardize all values in the Date column after export using your spreadsheet's date functions.
Can I batch LINE Pay screenshots with PayPay or other payment apps in the same export?
Yes. Define one set of column names — Amount, Counterparty, Date — and the AI processes LINE Pay, PayPay, Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle screenshots in a single batch. Add a Source column to tag which app generated each row. This is especially useful if you're migrating old LINE Pay Japan records into a PayPay-based tracking system. See the payment screenshots overview for the full cross-app capability.
What's the difference between extracting from the chat card vs the Wallet tab?
The chat card (the payment confirmation that appears in your LINE chat) shows the Amount and Counterparty display name plus a relative timestamp — useful for a quick glance but incomplete for record-keeping. The Wallet tab's individual transaction detail page adds the absolute Date in the local calendar format and the full 19-digit Transaction ID. For reliable tracking, screenshot the detail page. For quick logging of many payments, the chat card still gives you amount and counterparty — you get the best results when you're consistent about which screen you capture.
Does this work with old LINE Pay Japan screenshots from before the 2025 shutdown?
Yes. The AI reads legacy LINE Pay Japan screenshots the same way it reads current Thai and Taiwanese screenshots — by semantic field meaning, not by layout matching. The old Japanese interface used its own arrangement of the amount, counterparty, and date fields, but because the AI identifies each field by what it means rather than where it sits, it extracts the data correctly regardless of which version of the LINE Pay UI generated the screenshot.
