Why are my receipts being rejected?

Here are the descriptions for each rejection reason:

This could mean the one or all of the following:

• You took photos of different receipts and upload them in one submission (you're supposed to upload them separately);
• The receipt is being placed on top of other receipts or papers with text, and is interfering with text extraction;
• The receipt is folded;
• The camera is too far away from the receipt;
• The photo is too blurry or dark;
• The receipt is too wrinkly;
• The receipt is in A4 or other non-standard sizes;
• You have modified the receipts, i.e. writing on it.
