Megaparse
Megaparse is a document parser from Quivr that converts files into markdown formatted for LLM ingestion. It targets PDFs, PowerPoint decks, and Word documents, with a focus on keeping structure intact so downstream models get usable text instead of mangled layouts.
The parser emphasizes high-fidelity extraction: tables keep their rows and columns, and embedded images go through OCR so text inside screenshots is not lost. You install it as a Python package, point it at a local file, and write the parsed output to markdown on disk.
Developers and teams building RAG pipelines or document automation workflows are the core audience. The open source tier runs locally with no parsing limits, while Quivr offers an enterprise plan with SOC 2 compliance and custom deployment for large-scale ingestion.
