What is Parseur?
Parseur is a document parsing platform that turns unstructured files into structured data without model training. It has been in production since 2016 and says it has processed more than 100 million documents. Documents arrive through drag-and-drop upload, a dedicated email address, the API or automation tools such as Zapier, Make and n8n. An AI engine then pulls out the fields the user has described, and a template engine and built-in OCR covering 200+ languages, handwriting included, are also available. Extracted data can be normalised and validated before it is downloaded or delivered to Google Sheets, Salesforce, Airtable, Slack, Power Automate or a webhook. Parseur runs as a point-and-click web app for operations teams and as an API for developers. Its infrastructure is hosted in the European Union, and a free tier covers 20 pages a month.
