Parse

​

Add documents

• Upload: drop files on the page or click browse. Up to 50 MB each in the dashboard. The API also takes prepared uploads up to 500 MB.
• Link: paste a link to a PDF or document and press Add.

​

Options

• How to read pages. Auto reads each page’s own text and uses AI only for scans. Text only never uses AI and skips scanned pages. Read every page uses AI on all pages, for documents whose text layer is unreliable.
• Pages. Parse only some pages of each PDF, such as 1-5, 1-3, 8 or 10- (page 10 to the end). Costs update as you type.
• What to extract. Describe the fields you want, or define a schema, and the result includes them as JSON.

​

The result

• Markdown: the whole document.
• Pages: each page on its own, marked Text or Read by AI.
• JSON: the extracted fields, when you asked for some.
