About this tool — Invoice Extractor
Invoice processing is one of the most time-consuming accounting tasks, and it's a textbook example of work that AI should be doing for you. PDF Genie's Invoice Extractor turns a supplier invoice — regardless of format, layout, or language — into a clean, structured record you can drop straight into your accounting system, spreadsheet, or ERP. Upload a PDF, and within seconds you receive back the invoice number, date, due date, vendor details, customer details, every line item with quantity and unit price, subtotal, tax, and grand total.
The extractor is powered by Anthropic's Claude, which understands invoice semantics across thousands of supplier templates: multi-column tables, split addresses, discount lines, multi-currency totals, different tax regimes (VAT, GST, sales tax, reverse charge), and mixed-language documents. It handles the messy real-world cases — stamped paid notices, scanned receipts with OCR'd layout, discount lines placed after subtotals, and taxes bundled into line items — far more reliably than fixed-template OCR workflows that break every time a vendor changes their invoice design.
Once extraction completes you get three export paths: download as JSON (ideal for piping into your own automation or Zapier scenarios), download as CSV (drop into Google Sheets or Excel), or download as .xlsx (with a header row and properly typed numeric columns for accountants). Every field is also visible in an editable on-screen table so you can correct the AI's extraction before exporting — useful on an unusually creative invoice layout.
Invoice Extractor is built for accounts-payable teams processing hundreds of supplier invoices a month, freelancers pulling billing data from their contractors, e-commerce operators reconciling supplier receipts, and anyone who has ever stared at a stack of PDFs and thought "surely I shouldn't be typing this into Excel". PDF Genie makes this entire workflow free for basic use (up to ten extractions per day) and flat-rate unlimited on Pro. Unlike enterprise OCR vendors that quote per-document, we give you real structured data with no setup, no templates to maintain, and no training set to curate.
Frequently asked questions
What invoice formats are supported?+
Any PDF — from standard supplier templates to multi-language tax invoices. Fully scanned PDFs need OCR first (use our OCR PDF tool).
Can I export to Excel?+
Yes. Extraction results can be downloaded as JSON or CSV (with a UTF-8 BOM so Excel opens it directly with typed numeric columns you can sum).
Is the data accurate?+
The AI handles most invoices very accurately, but you can review and edit every extracted field in the results table before exporting. For high-volume workflows we recommend spot-checking.
Is my invoice data private?+
Invoice text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for extraction and then discarded. We do NOT retain the PDF or its contents, and Anthropic does not train on API inputs. This tool requires a server round-trip (unlike most PDF Genie tools which run entirely in your browser) because Claude is too large to run client-side.
How many invoices can I extract per day?+
Free plan: 10 extractions per day per visitor (shared across all AI tools). Pro plan ($7/month): 500 AI operations per day — enough for a typical accounts-payable desk. Contact support@pdfgenie.io for a higher quota.
Is there a file size limit?+
Invoice PDFs must be under 20 MB — that's comfortable headroom for even the longest multi-page supplier statements.
