Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is the AI data extraction? Datafromfile uses AI vision models to read document structure (tables, totals, and line items) directly from PDFs, scans, and photos. Extraction quality varies by document: a clean digital PDF extracts more reliably than a blurry photo, and clearly printed text is more reliable than handwriting or a heavily irregular table layout. Every result is flagged as either high confidence or needs review, never a fabricated precision percentage, and you can check the data yourself in the editable workspace before exporting. Every plan uses the same extraction models; paid plans get more monthly volume and faster concurrent processing, not a different or more accurate model.
- What file types can I upload, and what can I export to? Upload PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, XLSX, XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, or HTML. Every plan, including Free, exports to Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON; Pro and above add Markdown export too, see the plan comparison on the Pricing page for the exact breakdown.
- Is my financial and business data private and secure? Yes. Each user’s documents are isolated at the database level, every upload travels over TLS, the original file is not kept once extraction finishes, and nothing you upload is used to train AI models.
- Is the Free plan really free, and what actually triggers an upgrade? Yes: 15 real AI operations a month (an extraction, an Ask Your Data question, or an AI transform each count as one), no credit card required, indefinitely. Excel export and AI-powered cleaning are included on Free. You'd look at a paid plan once you need more than 15 operations a month, bigger files, larger batch uploads, or Markdown export, all Pro and above.
- What if my file is too large, or has a lot of pages? Each plan has its own real per-file limit, enforced on the actual file you upload, not just a claim: 3 MB on Free, 10 MB on Pro, 25 MB on Business, and 100 MB on Enterprise. A multi-page document, like a 10-page bank statement, is supported and read as one continuous result as long as the whole file stays under your plan's limit; a scan larger than that may need to be compressed or split first.
- Do you have an API or integrations for automation? Yes, any signed-in account can generate developer API keys and configure outbound webhooks from Settings > Integrations, so you can trigger an extraction or get notified when one completes or fails, without using the manual upload flow.
