ParseDirectAI-native extraction, powered by Claude
Extract structured data from any document — no OCR templates required
ParseDirect reads your PDFs and images the way a person would. Describe the fields you need once, then upload anything — it works even on documents it's never seen before.
50 pages/month free, forever — no credit card required.
From template to structured data in under a minute.
How it works
Three steps. No rules engine, no zone mapping.
curl https://parsedirect.com/api/v1/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pd_..." \
-F "file=@invoice.pdf" \
-F "template_id=<template_id>"Every step above also works as a single API call — see the API docs.
Built different from legacy OCR tools
Tools like DocParser, Parseur, Airparser, and Nanonets were built around OCR engines and manual rule or zone templates. ParseDirect is built around an AI model that actually reads the document.
Legacy OCR tools

Setup per document type

New or unfamiliar layouts
Breaks silently, needs re-templating
Handled automatically, nothing to retrain
Scanned images & photos
Often a separate paid OCR add-on
Built in — same pipeline as PDFs
