Unstructured Transform

Unstructured Transform turns real-world documents into clean, structured, AI-ready data. Point it at a file — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, email, scanned images, and ~70 other formats — and it returns the content as Markdown, element-level JSON, HTML, or plain text that an agent can act on immediately.

Under the hood it runs a configurable pipeline: partition documents into structured elements (titles, paragraphs, tables, lists, images) with layout and page metadata; optionally enrich them with vision-language passes (image and table descriptions, table-to-HTML, named-entity recognition, generative OCR); chunk the content for retrieval; and generate embeddings for a vector store. It can also extract structured JSON from a document against a schema you provide — or draft that schema for you.

Work is submitted as an asynchronous job, and results are delivered out of band through a short-lived download link, so even large documents never overwhelm the conversation. Each request handles up to 10 files, 50 MB per file.

Common uses: feed specification PDFs into a coding task, ground answers in policy or contract documents, build a searchable Q&A corpus over enterprise files, pull structured fields from forms, invoices, or contracts against a JSON schema, or prepare large document sets for a RAG pipeline.
