What is Docling ?

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats — including advanced PDF understanding — and providing seamless integrations with the generative AI ecosystem.

Features

  • 🗂️ Parsing of multiple document formats including PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, Apple Pages, WAV, MP3, WebVTT, Box Notes, email formats (EML, MSG), images (PNG, TIFF, JPEG, ...), LaTeX, DocLang, plain text, and more
  • 📑 Advanced PDF understanding incl. page layout, reading order, table structure, code, formulas, image classification, and more
  • 🧬 A unified, expressive DoclingDocument representation format
  • ↪️ Various export formats and options, including Markdown, HTML, WebVTT, DocLang, DocTags and lossless JSON
  • 📜 Support for several application-specific XML schemas including DocLang, USPTO patents, JATS articles, and XBRL financial reports.
  • 🔒 Local execution capabilities for sensitive data and air-gapped environments
  • 🤖 Plug-and-play integrations incl. LangChain, LlamaIndex, Crew AI & Haystack for agentic AI
  • 🔍 Extensive OCR support for scanned PDFs and images
  • 👓 Support for several Visual Language Models, such as (GraniteDocling)
  • 🎙️ Audio support with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models
  • 🔌 Connect to any agent using the MCP server
  • 🌐 Run Docling as a service with the API server (docling-serve)
  • 💻 Simple and convenient CLI

What's new

  • 🎬 Parsing of video files (MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, and WebM) with an ASR transcript and representative keyframes
  • 📄 Parsing of ODF (OpenDocument Format) files for text documents (.odt), spreadsheets (.ods), and presentations (.odp)
  • 💼 Parsing of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) documents for financial reports
  • 📧 Parsing of email files (.eml, .msg)
  • 📚 Parsing of EPUB (Electronic Publication) files for e-books
  • 🍎 Parsing of Apple Pages (.pages) documents, both the modern IWA container and iWork '09
  • 📝 Parsing of plain-text files (.txt, .text) and Markdown supersets (.qmd, .Rmd)
  • 📊 Chart understanding (Barchart, Piechart, LinePlot): convert them into tables or code and add detailed descriptions

Coming soon

  • 📝 Metadata extraction, including title, authors, references & language
  • 📝 Complex chemistry understanding (Molecular structures)

Quickstart

1. Install

pip install docling

Note: Python 3.9 support was dropped in docling version 2.70.0. Please use Python 3.10 or higher.

Works on macOS, Linux and Windows environments for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.

More detailed installation instructions are available in the docs.

2. Convert a document (CLI)

docling https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062

This generates a .md file in the current directory containing structured document content.

You can also use 🥚GraniteDocling and other VLMs via Docling CLI:

docling --pipeline vlm --vlm-model granite_docling https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062

3. Python usage (recommended)

from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter

source = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869"  # a document via a local path or URL
converter = DocumentConverter()
result = converter.convert(source)
print(result.document.export_to_markdown())  # output: "## Docling Technical Report[...]"
