What is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)?

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) uses AI to automate the extraction, classification, and validation of data from documents. anyformat goes beyond traditional IDP by adding autonomous workflow orchestration: documents are not just processed, they flow through automated pipelines with built-in validation and human-in-the-loop review.

How accurate is AI document data extraction?

anyformat combines large language models with deterministic rules, confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop validation to stay accurate even on the complex, messy documents that break other tools. You can review, validate and correct extractions, so output stays reliable as formats and layouts change.

How is anyformat different from traditional OCR?

Traditional OCR converts images to text, nothing more. anyformat understands document structure, context and meaning. It extracts structured data fields, handles tables, multi-page documents and varying layouts without rigid templates. Think of it as the difference between reading characters and understanding a document.

What document formats and layouts does anyformat support?

PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images and scanned documents, across a wide range of layouts, from invoices and contracts to forms, reports and IDs, with no templates required.

How long does it take to get started?

Most teams are up and running in minutes. Upload files or connect a data source, define your extraction logic in our no-code Studio, and get structured results immediately. No infrastructure setup required.

Can I integrate anyformat with my existing systems?

Yes. We offer a REST API, webhooks, and pre-built integrations with tools like Salesforce, SharePoint, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Data flows directly into your CRM, ERP, or database. Enterprise plans include custom integration development.

Is my data secure with anyformat?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256. We offer role-based access control, audit logging, and zero-retention processing options. anyformat is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with flexible deployment including private cloud and on-premise.

How does anyformat go beyond basic document extraction?

Most document tools stop at extraction. anyformat adds autonomous workflow orchestration: documents flow through intelligent pipelines that parse, validate, route, and act on data with minimal human intervention. Built on the principle that documents should trigger actions, not just produce data.

Document processing
your systems can trust

Heavy lifting on your hardest documents. Parse, extract, classify, split and validate them into clean, reliable data. Live in minutes, with EU data residency, ISO 27001 and self-hosting.

Trusted by teams automating document-heavy operations

Document operations
composable into one workflow

Parse any document
into clean, structured text

Turn any document into clean markdown your pipeline, RAG or agents can read.

Structured markdownClean markdown with text, tables and figures that any downstream step, RAG pipeline or agent can read.

Layout detectionDetects headings, columns, reading order and tables, so document structure survives even on dense, multi-column pages.

Agentic routingAgentic parse mode routes tricky pages and elements for higher accuracy on messy, real-world documents.

Any format, any languageReads PDFs, images and scans in any language, with no templates and no per-format setup.

Extract

Extract exactly the data your systems need

Turn parsed documents into typed, structured fields you can use anywhere.

Hundreds of pages, one shotExtract across hundreds of pages in a single pass, no chunking or manual stitching.

Visual groundingEvery value comes back with bounding-box coordinates, cited to its exact place in the source.

Confidence scoringA per-field confidence score flags what to trust and what to send to human review.

Complex tablesCapture long, multipage and nested tables, like line items spanning dozens of pages, in one pass.

Classify

Sort every document into the right type

Label each document so a single workflow can handle many document types.

Categories you defineSet up your own labels, each with a short description of what belongs in it.

No training dataClassifies from your plain-language descriptions alone, no labeled examples needed.

Built-in routingSend each category down its own path, so one workflow handles every document type.

Self-learningCorrections feed back in, so classification keeps getting sharper on your documents over time.

Split

Break bundled files into clean documents

Separate multi-document files so each piece is processed on its own.

Split by categoryDefine split rules in plain language, and each segment is processed on its own.

Repeated documentsSeparate several documents of the same type, like four invoices stapled into one PDF, into independent runs.

Long documentsBreak a 50-page bundle into its sections, so each one is handled separately.

Nothing falls throughAnything that doesn't match a rule lands in a catch-all group, so no document is ever silently dropped.

Validate

Catch bad data before it ships

Check every result against rules you write in plain language.

Rules in plain languageWrite checks like “the IBAN is valid” or “the document is not expired”, no code required.

Automatic flaggingEvery document is checked, and anything that fails surfaces for review instead of slipping through.

Cross-field checksCompare values across fields, like the name on an ID against the name on the contract.

Human-in-the-loopAutomated rules pair with human sign-off, placed exactly where you want it, at scale.

Orchestrate

Run the whole pipeline in a single call

Wire every step into one workflow that runs end to end.

Composable graphConnect Parse, Extract, Classify, Split and Validate into a typed graph for any document.

Branching and conditionsConditional nodes send each document type or segment down its own path.

One call, end to endRun an entire pipeline on a document in a single API call.

Run in bulkApply a published workflow to large batches via API, the UI, or cloud-storage sync.

Why anyformat

Built for production,
not demos

Raw OCR can't read structure. A raw LLM hallucinates and can't be audited. anyformat combines both with deterministic rules, confidence scoring and validation, so the output is structured, traceable and ready for production.
