Introduction
Once you’ve reviewed your OCR documents and everything looks good, the next step is downloading the extracted data. This is super handy when you want to back up your results, send them somewhere else, or use them in another tool.
Right now, all downloads are in JSON format — which is great for developers or systems that want structured data. CSV support is coming soon, so stay tuned!
Let’s walk through how to download your OCR results, step by step.
When can I download OCR data?
You can download data from:
OCR Centre → All OCR Documents
OCR Centre → {Document Type} (like Invoice, ID Card…)
But only for documents that have been reviewed — meaning, they’ve been opened and confirmed in the review screen.
If a file still says “Pending” or hasn’t been reviewed yet, the download button might not be available yet.
How to download from a reviewed document
If you’re inside the document review screen, downloading is just a click away:
Open the reviewed document
Look for the “Download” button (usually near the top or in the 3-dot menu)
Click it, and your JSON file will start downloading!
The downloaded file will include all the field values that were extracted — whether from the OCR engine or ones you edited manually.
What’s inside the JSON file?
Don’t worry if you’ve never seen a JSON file before — it’s just a structured way of organizing info.
Here’s a super simple example of what it might look like:
{
“full_name”: “Jane Doe”,
“birth_date”: “1991-07-15”,
“document_type”: “ID Card”
}
Every field from the document will show up here, with the value next to it. If there are groups or lists (like addresses or items in a table), those will be neatly organized too.
How to download from the document list
You can also download directly from the document list — without opening review mode:
Go to OCR Centre → All OCR Documents
Find the file you want
Click the 3-dot button at the end of the row
Choose “Download Data”
This is perfect if you’ve already reviewed everything and just need the results fast.
Can I download multiple files at once?
Not yet — downloads are one file at a time for now. Bulk download is on the roadmap, but we want to make sure the format and file naming are super clear before releasing that.
What if I want CSV?
Great question! CSV support is in the works and will be released in an upcoming update.
For now, you’ll get a .json file. If you need it in spreadsheet form urgently, you can:
Use an online JSON to CSV converter
Ask your tech team to help turn the file into a table
Wait for our built-in CSV support (coming soon!)
We’ll update this article when CSV becomes available.
