Docling simplifies document processing, parsing diverse formats โ including advanced PDF understanding โ and providing seamless integrations with the gen AI ecosystem.
## Features
* ๐๏ธ Parsing of [multiple document formats][supported_formats] incl. PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, WAV, MP3, VTT, images (PNG, TIFF, JPEG, ...), and more
* ๐ Advanced PDF understanding incl. page layout, reading order, table structure, code, formulas, image classification, and more
* ๐งฌ Unified, expressive [DoclingDocument][docling_document] representation format
* โช๏ธ Various [export formats][supported_formats] and options, including Markdown, HTML, [DocTags](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.11576) and lossless JSON
* ๐ Local execution capabilities for sensitive data and air-gapped environments
* ๐ค Plug-and-play [integrations][integrations] incl. LangChain, LlamaIndex, Crew AI & Haystack for agentic AI
* ๐ Extensive OCR support for scanned PDFs and images
* ๐ Support of several Visual Language Models ([GraniteDocling](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M))
* ๐๏ธ Audio support with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models
* ๐ Connect to any agent using the [MCP server](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/usage/mcp/)
* ๐ป Simple and convenient CLI
### What's new
* ๐ค Structured [information extraction][extraction] \[๐งช beta\]
* ๐ New layout model (**Heron**) by default, for faster PDF parsing
* ๐ [MCP server](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/usage/mcp/) for agentic applications
* ๐ฌ Parsing of Web Video Text Tracks (WebVTT) files
### Coming soon
* ๐ Metadata extraction, including title, authors, references & language
* ๐ Chart understanding (Barchart, Piechart, LinePlot, etc)
* ๐ Complex chemistry understanding (Molecular structures)
## Installation
To use Docling, simply install `docling` from your package manager, e.g. pip:
```bash
pip install docling
```
Works on macOS, Linux and Windows environments. Both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.
More [detailed installation instructions](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/installation/) are available in the docs.
## Getting started
To convert individual documents with python, use `convert()`, for example:
```python
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter
source = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869" # document per local path or URL
converter = DocumentConverter()
result = converter.convert(source)
print(result.document.export_to_markdown()) # output: "## Docling Technical Report[...]"
```
More [advanced usage options](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/usage/advanced_options/) are available in
the docs.
## CLI
Docling has a built-in CLI to run conversions.
```bash
docling https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062
```
You can also use ๐ฅ[GraniteDocling](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M) and other VLMs via Docling CLI:
```bash
docling --pipeline vlm --vlm-model granite_docling https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062
```
This will use MLX acceleration on supported Apple Silicon hardware.
