A hosted Docling alternative—without Python setup
Use clean PDF-to-Markdown conversion through web, API, CLI, or agents instead of maintaining dependencies, models, and processing infrastructure.
No Python · No model downloads · No GPU maintenance
“Finally a PDF converter that outputs clean Markdown for my RAG pipeline.”

| Setup | One account | Python and models |
| Operations | Managed | You maintain it |
| Air-gapped use | No | Yes |

Questions before you try it?
Answers about accuracy, pricing, security, and this workflow.
How accurate is BlazeDocs OCR?+
BlazeDocs uses Mistral AI OCR and preserves reading order, headings, tables, formulas, and lists. Clean text PDFs are near-perfect; difficult scans typically exceed 95% character accuracy.
How does BlazeDocs pricing work?+
The free plan includes three uploads per month with the first five pages of each file. Paid plans start at $9.99 per month for 500 pages, with API plans for production volume.
Are uploaded documents private?+
Documents are processed securely and are not used to train models. PDFs are handled in memory rather than permanently stored; review the security and privacy pages for current controls.
When is Docling the better choice?+
Docling is appropriate when you need local or air-gapped processing, full runtime control, or custom modifications and can maintain the infrastructure.
Does BlazeDocs require a GPU?+
No local GPU is required. BlazeDocs runs the parsing service for you and exposes the result through web, API, CLI, and agent integrations.
