Parseur is an AI-powered document processing platform that turns PDFs, scans, emails, and images into structured data. It was launched in 2016 by Sylvain Josserand and Sylvestre Dupont and is run by Parseur Pte. Ltd. in Singapore.
The company states it has processed more than 100 million documents and is fully owned and funded by its founders. Its pitch is simple: replace copy-pasting from invoices and emails with automatic extraction that delivers clean data to the tools a team already uses.
How does Parseur work?
Documents reach Parseur through a unique mailbox email address, drag-and-drop upload, the REST API, or integrations such as Zapier, Make, and n8n. Users then name the fields they want in plain English, and the AI reads each document whatever its layout. New layouts work without a template.
Parseur picks the best of its three engines for each document: Vision AI, Text AI, or templates. The output is formatted and validated, then sent to the destination as soon as processing finishes, by webhook, spreadsheet sync, or download.
Key features of Parseur
The extraction engine supports 25+ file formats, table extraction for line items and transactions, and OCR in 200+ languages. Mailbox-level schemas keep fields consistent, and dates, numbers, and addresses are validated automatically. Python post-processing is available for custom logic.
Operational controls include logs for every processing step, alerts on failures and quota limits, role-based permissions, and audit trails. Webhooks retry automatically and keep delivery logs, and each account has its own processing queue so spikes elsewhere do not affect it.
Key Features
Automated document capture — Captures documents into unlimited mailboxes through forwarded email, REST API, drag-and-drop upload, and Zapier, Make, or Power Automate pulls from Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint. Supports 25+ file formats.
Vision AI, Text AI, and templates — Three parsing engines run in the same mailbox and the best one is picked per document. Users name fields in plain English, with no model training.
Table extraction and OCR — Extracts line items, transactions, and order details from tables. OCR covers 200+ languages, with pre-processing tuned over 100M+ documents.
Normalization and validation — Mailbox-level schemas keep fields consistent. Dates, numbers, addresses, and choices are auto-formatted and validated.
Python post-processing — Optional Python post-processing handles custom business logic. Advanced post processing is included on Scale and Enterprise tiers.
Real-time exports and webhooks — Sends data when processing finishes through webhooks with retries, authentication, and delivery logs, plus live Google Sheets sync and Excel, CSV, or JSON downloads.
Monitoring and auditing — Logs every processing step and alerts on processing failures, failed exports, and quota limits. Role-based permissions and audit trails are included.
Infrastructure resilience — Per-account queues keep traffic spikes from affecting other customers, and API calls and outgoing webhooks retry automatically. Parseur cites 99.9%+ uptime.
Security and compliance — EU-hosted infrastructure, GDPR, CCPA, and PDPA compliance, SOC 2 Type II, TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, and adjustable retention for auto-deleting old documents.
Web app and API — A no-code web app for operations teams and a document parsing API for developers who send documents and receive structured data programmatically.
