LiteParse is an open-source PDF parser that extracts text with spatial positioning and bounding boxes entirely on your machine, running 2-5ms per page without cloud dependencies or LLMs. It handles PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and images, with optional OCR for scanned content.
- Benchmarks show LiteParse outperforms free competitors (pdf-inspector, opendataloader, markitdown) across three major document parsing tests, scoring 0.389 on ParseBench vs 0.283 for the next best model-free tool.
- Speed comes from avoiding ML models — uses PDFium for text extraction, optional Tesseract or PaddleOCR for scanned pages, and spatial layout reconstruction via grid projection.
- Available in Python, Node.js, Rust, and browser (WASM) with CLI tools; includes worker pool mode for parallel parsing with per-document timeouts to prevent pipeline stalls.
