Documentation
Everything you need to use Scrape AI, from your first upload to your export.
Getting started
Create an account with your email or with Google. The Free plan includes 10 documents and 2 runs in total, and no card is needed.
Your first run takes a few steps:
- Click New Run, give the run a name and pick a run type.
- Upload your files.
- Review the fields Scrape suggests, and change any you like.
- Click Scrape. Each document becomes one row in your results.
Run types
Every run has a type. It tells Scrape which fields to suggest for your documents.
- Smart Scan (recommended) works on any document.
- Project Data for project sheets, proposals, bid documents and case studies.
- Employee Data for resumes, staff profiles, offer letters and onboarding documents.
- Finance & Legal for invoices, contracts, purchase orders and agreements.
Extraction and checking work the same way for every run type.
Uploading files
Scrape accepts PDF files, including scans, and Word files (.docx). Each file can be up to 10 pages and 25 MB. A file that is too large or can't be opened is turned away with a message saying why.
Files per run depend on your plan:
- Free: 10
- Standard: 100
- Pro: 250
- Business: 500
Have a photo or a phone scan? Save it as a PDF, then upload the PDF.
Fields
Scrape reads a sample of your documents and suggests the fields worth capturing. It also remembers field names you use often for each run type. You stay in charge of the list: rename, reorder, add or remove any field before you scrape.
Each field has a type: text, number, date, currency, list or paragraph.
Tables and other repeating sections, like invoice line items, become one list field with each row on its own line. Values printed once, like a total, get their own fields. Tables & layouts
How values are checked
After the AI reads your documents, Scrape checks every value against the document's own text. A value is kept only when it matches the printed words. Every PDF page is also read with OCR, so scanned pages get the same check.
Values are never reformatted: dates, amounts and names come through exactly as printed. If a value isn't printed in the document, its cell stays blank. Verification
Reviewing results
Results open as a table with one row per document. Click any cell to open its page with the value highlighted where it's printed. Word files show their values in the table without a page preview.
You can edit any cell to fix or fill a value before you export. Source highlights
Exporting
Click Export to download a CSV, or open its menu for an Excel file or Google Sheets. Column headers are your field names, with one row per document.
Files are named after the run and the time of export, for example “Monthly Invoices - 2026-11-04 0930.xlsx”. For Google Sheets you approve access with Google each time, and Scrape never stores it.
Exports are included on Standard, Pro and Business. Export
Plans and usage
A document counts toward your plan when you click Scrape. Uploading the same file again counts as a new document. On Free, the limit is for the life of the account; on paid plans it resets each billing period.
Your usage is shown in the sidebar and in Settings → Billing & usage.
Upgrade from the Pricing page. To change or cancel a plan, open Settings → Manage billing. A cancelled plan stays active until the end of the billing period.
Your data
Deleting a run removes its files and results right away, permanently. Documents a run already used still count toward your plan.
To close your account, open Settings → Delete account. Every file and result is removed, then your login. This can't be undone.
See Security for how your documents are protected and which providers process them.
