Order pages and confirmation emails can disappear. Saving them as PDF gives you a copy you can find when you need a refund, a warranty claim, or an expense report.

What to save

  • Order confirmations and invoices
  • Booking and ticket confirmations
  • Subscription and payment receipts
  • Warranty and return information

How to save

  1. Open the receipt or confirmation page.
  2. Save the page as PDF (see our guide on saving web pages as PDF on iPhone).
  3. Name the file with date, store, and amount.
  4. Move it to a dedicated receipts folder.

A simple naming system

Use YYYY-MM-DD_store_amount.pdf , for example 2026-05-14_electronics_89.pdf . Sorting by name then sorts by date.

Keep folders tidy

Create one folder per year and subfolders for categories such as Travel, Home, and Work.
