š Supported File Types
DocParse processes documents up to 25 MB per file and up to 30 files per batch upload.
Document formats
| Format | Extensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.pdf | Most common; supports text-based and scanned PDFs (we OCR scanned pages automatically). | |
| Word | .docx, .doc | Modern and legacy Office formats. |
| Plain text | .txt, .md | Useful for already-parsed data or chat transcripts. |
| Images | .png, .jpg, .jpeg | Photographed or scanned documents; OCR is applied automatically. |
What counts as a page?
We count pages the same way they appear in the source document:
- PDF ā one rendered page = one page.
- Word ā one logical page in the document = one page.
- Image ā one image = one page.
- Plain text ā every 3,000 characters = one page (rounded up).
Size limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Max file size | 25 MB |
| Max files per upload batch | 30 |
| Max pages per document | 200 |
| Concurrent batches per account | No hard cap; we'll scale you |
Multi-page documents are processed in parallel under the hood. A 50-page invoice is typically returned in under 30 seconds.
OCR
Scanned PDFs and images go through OCR automatically. You don't need to do anything special ā just upload and the parser handles it.
For best OCR accuracy:
- Aim for at least 300 DPI on scans.
- Prefer color or grayscale over pure black-and-white.
- Avoid heavy compression.
What we don't support (yet)
- Excel spreadsheets (
.xlsx,.xls) ā coming soon. - PowerPoint (
.pptx) ā coming soon. - HTML / web pages ā strip to text/markdown first.
- Encrypted PDFs ā must be decrypted before upload.
