PaddleOCR is an open-source OCR and document-processing toolkit for extracting text and structure from documents. Its PP-StructureV3 component turns complex PDFs and document images into Markdown and JSON while preserving their organization, and supports table extraction. PaddleOCR-VL handles multilingual document parsing across 109 languages, while PP-OCRv6 supports 50 languages in one model. PaddleOCR 3.0 also recognizes handwriting. For large document collections, PP-ChatOCRv4 extracts key information and integrates ERNIE 4.5. Models can be used online through the official website or called through an API; the official free API allows up to 20,000 pages of document parsing per day. Documentation describes local, C++, service, Android, iOS, and browser deployment options, among others. The license permits use, modification, distribution, and sale without restriction. SDK languages listed are Python, TypeScript, and Go. Support is available through GitHub Issues. One compatibility note: code written for PaddleOCR 2.x may not run with version 3.x.
