162
+
163
+ # Extract to stdout
164
+ kreuzberg extract document.pdf
165
+
166
+ # JSON output with metadata
167
+ kreuzberg extract document.pdf --output-format json --show-metadata

170
+ kreuzberg extract *.pdf --output-dir ./extracted/
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ ## Supported Formats
174
+
175
+ | Category | Formats |
176
+ | ----------------- | ------------------------------ |
177
+ | **Documents** | PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, TXT, EPUB |
178
+ | **Images** | JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, WEBP |
179
+ | **Spreadsheets** | XLSX, XLS, CSV, ODS |
180
+ | **Presentations** | PPTX, PPT, ODP |

182
+ | **Archives** | Support via extraction |
183
+
184
+ ## Performance
185
+
186
+ **Fastest extraction speeds** with minimal resource usage:
187
+
188
+ | Library | Speed | Memory | Size | Success Rate |
189
+ | ------------- | -------------- | ------------- | ----------- | ------------ |
190
+ | **Kreuzberg** | ⚡ **Fastest** | 💾 **Lowest** | 📦 **71MB** | ✅ **100%** |
191
+ | Unstructured | 2-3x slower | 2x higher | 146MB | 95% |
192
+ | MarkItDown | 3-4x slower | 3x higher | 251MB | 90% |
193
+ | Docling | 4-5x slower | 10x higher | 1,032MB | 85% |

87
-
88
- ## Quick Start
89
-
90
- ```bash
91
- pip install kreuzberg
92
-
93
- # Or install with CLI support
94
- pip install "kreuzberg[cli]"
95
-
96
- # Or install with API server
97
- pip install "kreuzberg[api]"
98
- ```
99
-
100
- Install pandoc:
101
-
102
- ```bash
103
- # Ubuntu/Debian
104
- sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr pandoc
105
-
106
- # macOS
107
- brew install tesseract pandoc
108
-
109
- # Windows
110
- choco install -y tesseract pandoc
111
- ```
112
-
113
- The tesseract OCR engine is the default OCR engine. You can decide not to use it - and then either use one of the two alternative OCR engines, or have no OCR at all.
114
-
115
- ### Alternative OCR engines
116
-
117
- ```bash

- ## OCR Engines
235
-
236
- Kreuzberg supports multiple OCR engines:
237
-
238
- - **Tesseract** (Default): Lightweight, fast startup, requires system installation
239
- - **EasyOCR**: Good for many languages, pure Python, but downloads models on first use
240
- - **PaddleOCR**: Excellent for Asian languages, pure Python, but downloads models on first use
241
-
242
- For comparison and selection guidance, see the [OCR Backends](https://goldziher.github.io/kreuzberg/user-guide/ocr-backends/) documentation.

258
-
259
- Kreuzberg delivers maximum performance with minimal overhead:
260
-
261
- 1. **Kreuzberg**: 71.0 MB (20 deps) - Most lightweight
262
- 1. **Unstructured**: 145.8 MB (54 deps) - Moderate footprint
263
- 1. **MarkItDown**: 250.7 MB (25 deps) - ML inference overhead
264
- 1. **Docling**: 1,031.9 MB (88 deps) - Full ML stack included
265
-
266
- **Kreuzberg is up to 14x smaller** than competing solutions while delivering superior performance.
267
-
268
- ### ⚡ Sync vs Async Performance
269
-
270
- Kreuzberg is the only library offering both sync and async APIs. Choose based on your use case:
271
-
272
- | Operation | Sync Time | Async Time | Async Advantage |
273
- | ---------------------- | --------- | ---------- | ------------------ |
274
- | Simple text (Markdown) | 0.4ms | 17.5ms | **❌ 41x slower** |
275
- | HTML documents | 1.6ms | 1.1ms | **✅ 1.5x faster** |
276
- | Complex PDFs | 39.0s | 8.5s | **✅ 4.6x faster** |
277
- | OCR processing | 0.4s | 0.7s | **✅ 1.7x faster** |
278
- | Batch operations | 38.6s | 8.5s | **✅ 4.5x faster** |
279
-
280
- **Rule of thumb:** Use async for complex documents, OCR, batch processing, and backend APIs.
281
