OCR Invoice API
Invoice OCR that returns JSON, not a text blob.
Use Parseify as your OCR invoice API: upload a photo or PDF and get schema-stable JSON for AP automation — without hosting Tesseract, training models, or writing field mappers.

OCR invoice API, frequently asked questions
What is an OCR invoice API?
An OCR invoice API reads invoice images or PDFs and extracts text into usable data. Parseify goes further by returning structured JSON fields — vendor, totals, tax, and line items — so you skip building OCR and mapping yourself.
Do I need to run my own OCR engine?
No. Parseify handles reading the document and structuring the result. You only call /api/v1/documents with an API key and the file.
Does the OCR invoice API support photos and scans?
Yes. JPEG, PNG, and PDF invoices up to 20 MB are supported, including camera photos and scanned pages.
Is OCR invoice output the same as raw text OCR?
Parseify returns structured JSON, not a raw text dump. That means your AP or expense product works with named fields instead of post-processing OCR strings.
