Infer the structure
The model separates document fields, repeating rows, totals, and notes based on the file in front of it.
What does free invoice OCR extract?
Dynamite Docs uses AI to extract supplier names, invoice numbers, dates, taxes, totals, and line items from PDF invoices, scans, and photos. Review the data beside the source, then export it to Excel, CSV, or JSON.
What to expect
Accepts invoice PDFs and images up to 50 MB, separates document fields from repeating rows, and keeps the source visible while you check the result.
The full workflow
The output stays beside the evidence.
Check the proposed fields against the source, correct a value, then export the reviewed structured invoice data.

Flexible AI processing
Use hosted AI, your own key, or local Ollama.
Start with hosted processing, connect a provider key when you need control over the provider account, or use the signed local companion on an eligible plan. The invoice still opens beside the proposed fields and rows, so the review step does not change with the processing route.
Your provider key is encrypted before it is stored.
Switch between hosted, own-key, privacy-restricted, and local models.
The same source-first review screen works whichever route you choose.
Choose the page for the job using Dynamite Docs
Use free invoice OCR when one PDF or image needs to become reviewed invoice fields and line-item rows. It is the right starting point when the immediate question is whether a supplier layout, scan quality, or item table can be parsed accurately. Before uploading, include every invoice page, make sure the invoice number and total are legible, and avoid phone screenshots that crop table margins or receipt borders.
After extraction, verify the supplier entity, invoice number, date, currency, purchase-order reference, tax breakdown, and total amount against the original document. Recalculate the line-item sum against the invoice total, check for inclusive versus exclusive tax handling, and treat unexpected bank-detail changes or new remittance addresses as separate verification exceptions.
Use Invoice to JSON when a developer needs a sample structured payload for an ERP mapper or API prototype. Use PDF to Excel when the document is a general spreadsheet schedule rather than an invoice. When supplier batches, saved corrections, stored audit trails, multi-reviewer sign-off, or API delivery become recurring requirements, move to the recurring accounting workflow.

Setup, review and export questions
Can the invoice OCR read scanned PDFs?
Yes. You can upload a text PDF, scanned PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP image. Crooked, blurred, or heavily compressed scans may need more correction.
Does it extract invoice line items?
Yes. The extractor can return repeating line-item rows as well as supplier, date, tax, currency, and total fields when they are present.
Can it read an invoice photo from my phone?
Yes. Upload the original JPG, PNG, JPEG, or WebP image. Keep all page edges visible, hold the camera parallel to the paper, avoid glare, and make sure the smallest line-item text is readable before extraction.
Can it extract GST invoice fields?
When they are printed clearly, the result can include supplier and recipient GSTINs, HSN or SAC codes, taxable value, CGST, SGST, IGST, and totals. Check the printed roles, tax split, and arithmetic. Extraction does not verify registration, choose tax treatment, or file a return.
Is the invoice stored in the cloud?
Anonymous originals stay in browser storage rather than the cloud file library. Invoice extraction may still send document content to the AI provider selected for the run. Review provider and retention settings before using a confidential invoice.
What is free, and do I need an account?
You can upload and review an extraction without an account or credit card. The current Free allowance shown on this page comes from the plan configuration. Create a free account when you want to download Excel, CSV, or JSON or keep the result.
Which export formats can I download?
After free signup, you can download the reviewed result as Excel, CSV, or JSON within Free plan limits. Excel can keep document fields and line items on separate sheets, CSV is one flat selected table, and JSON carries columns, rows, and document metadata.
How should I check an invoice OCR result before using it?
Compare the supplier, full invoice number, date, currency, purchase-order reference, bank details, tax and total with the source. Then verify line count and recalculate the subtotal from the extracted rows. Route any identity, duplicate, arithmetic or bank-change exception through your normal approval process.
How accurate is free invoice OCR?
Accuracy depends on the source and the fields you need. Clean printed headers are usually easier than faint tax IDs, handwritten changes, wrapped descriptions, or tables continued onto another page. Use confidence as a review cue, then compare every payment, identity, tax, and total field with the invoice.
