Learn batch PDF text extraction and batch OCR on images in four simple steps—mark fields once, process many files, and export to Excel or CSV.
Use direct PDF text extraction for digital files (fast batch processing). Use OCR for images and scanned PDFs when text is not selectable. The same template workflow applies to both.
Start with a digital PDF for fast direct text extraction, or upload images and scanned PDFs when you need OCR to read text from scans and photos.
Mark only the text regions you need—not the whole page—and assign each area to a spreadsheet cell. Save the layout as a reusable template.
Upload many PDFs or images in one go. ExtractGrid applies your template for batch PDF text extraction or batch OCR on images and scanned documents.
Download structured XLSX or CSV output with extracted text in the cells you mapped—ideal for bank statements, invoices, and recurring layouts.
