LiteParse features

What you can do with LiteParse, fully managed by Elestio.

LiteParse is a document parsing REST API by LlamaIndex, parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and images into JSON, text, or Markdown, renders page screenshots, and estimates OCR needs, fully locally with no API key or GPU required.

Three Output Formats, One Endpoint

POST /parse returns structured per-page JSON (text, positions, fonts) by default, or plain text/Markdown with a single query parameter, no separate endpoints to learn.

Page Screenshots on Demand

POST /screenshots renders document pages as PNG images via an NDJSON stream, with control over which pages to render.

Know Before You OCR

POST /is-complex estimates document complexity and whether OCR is actually needed, avoid running expensive OCR on documents that don't require it.

Fully Local, No API Key or GPU

Parsing runs entirely on your own infrastructure, no external API key, no GPU requirement, and no document data ever leaves your deployment.
