+ # MarkItDown OCR Plugin
35
+
36
+ LLM Vision plugin for MarkItDown that extracts text from images embedded in PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files.
37
+
38
+ Uses the same `llm_client` / `llm_model` pattern that MarkItDown already supports for image descriptions — no new ML libraries or binary dependencies required.
39
+
40
+ ## Features
41
+
42
+ - **Enhanced PDF Converter**: Extracts text from images within PDFs, with full-page OCR fallback for scanned documents
43
+ - **Enhanced DOCX Converter**: OCR for images in Word documents
44
+ - **Enhanced PPTX Converter**: OCR for images in PowerPoint presentations
45
+ - **Enhanced XLSX Converter**: OCR for images in Excel spreadsheets
46
+ - **Context Preservation**: Maintains document structure and flow when inserting extracted text
47
+
48
+ ## Installation
49
+
50
+ ```bash
51
+ pip install markitdown-ocr
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ The plugin uses whatever OpenAI-compatible client you already have. Install one if you don't have it yet:
55
+
56
+ ```bash
57
+ pip install openai
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ ## Usage
61
+
62
+ ### Command Line
63
+
64
+ ```bash
65
+ markitdown document.pdf --use-plugins --llm-client openai --llm-model gpt-4o
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ ### Python API
69
+
70
+ Pass `llm_client` and `llm_model` to `MarkItDown()` exactly as you would for image descriptions:
71
+
72
+ ```python
73
+ from markitdown import MarkItDown
74
+ from openai import OpenAI
75
+
76
+ md = MarkItDown(
77
+ enable_plugins=True,
78
+ llm_client=OpenAI(),
79
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
80
+ )
81
+
82
+ result = md.convert("document_with_images.pdf")
83
+ print(result.text_content)
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ If no `llm_client` is provided the plugin still loads, but OCR is silently skipped — falling back to the standard built-in converter.
87
+
88
+ ### Custom Prompt
89
+
90
+ Override the default extraction prompt for specialized documents:
91
+
92
+ ```python
93
+ md = MarkItDown(
94
+ enable_plugins=True,
95
+ llm_client=OpenAI(),
96
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
97
+ llm_prompt="Extract all text from this image, preserving table structure.",
98
+ )
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ ### Any OpenAI-Compatible Client
102
+
103
+ Works with any client that follows the OpenAI API:
104
+
105
+ ```python
106
+ from openai import AzureOpenAI
107
+
108
+ md = MarkItDown(
109
+ enable_plugins=True,
110
+ llm_client=AzureOpenAI(
111
+ api_key="...",
112
+ azure_endpoint="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/",
113
+ api_version="2024-02-01",
114
+ ),
115
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
116
+ )
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ ## How It Works
120
+
121
+ When `MarkItDown(enable_plugins=True, llm_client=..., llm_model=...)` is called:
122
+
123
+ 1. MarkItDown discovers the plugin via the `markitdown.plugin` entry point group
124
+ 2. It calls `register_converters()`, forwarding all kwargs including `llm_client` and `llm_model`
125
+ 3. The plugin creates an `LLMVisionOCRService` from those kwargs
126
+ 4. Four OCR-enhanced converters are registered at **priority -1.0** — before the built-in converters at priority 0.0
127
+
128
+ When a file is converted:
129
+
130
+ 1. The OCR converter accepts the file
131
+ 2. It extracts embedded images from the document
132
+ 3. Each image is sent to the LLM with an extraction prompt
133
+ 4. The returned text is inserted inline, preserving document structure
134
+ 5. If the LLM call fails, conversion continues without that image's text
135
+
136
+ ## Supported File Formats
137
+
138
+ ### PDF
139
+
140
+ - Embedded images are extracted by position (via `page.images` / page XObjects) and OCR'd inline, interleaved with the surrounding text in vertical reading order.
141
+ - **Scanned PDFs** (pages with no extractable text) are detected automatically: each page is rendered at 300 DPI and sent to the LLM as a full-page image.
142
+ - **Malformed PDFs** that pdfplumber/pdfminer cannot open (e.g. truncated EOF) are retried with PyMuPDF page rendering, so content is still recovered.
143
+
144
+ ### DOCX
145
+
146
+ - Images are extracted via document part relationships (`doc.part.rels`).
147
+ - OCR is run before the DOCX→HTML→Markdown pipeline executes: placeholder tokens are injected into the HTML so that the markdown converter does not escape the OCR markers, and the final placeholders are replaced with the formatted `*[Image OCR]...[End OCR]*` blocks after conversion.
148
+ - Document flow (headings, paragraphs, tables) is fully preserved around the OCR blocks.
149
+
150
+ ### PPTX
151
+
152
+ - Picture shapes, placeholder shapes with images, and images inside groups are all supported.
153
+ - Shapes are processed in top-to-left reading order per slide.
154
+ - If an `llm_client` is configured, the LLM is asked for a description first; OCR is used as the fallback when no description is returned.
155
+
156
+ ### XLSX
157
+
158
+ - Images embedded in worksheets (`sheet._images`) are extracted per sheet.
159
+ - Cell position is calculated from the image anchor coordinates (column/row → Excel letter notation).
160
+ - Images are listed under a `### Images in this sheet:` section after the sheet's data table — they are not interleaved into the table rows.
161
+
162
+ ### Output format
163
+
164
+ Every extracted OCR block is wrapped as:
165
+
166
+ ```text
167
+ *[Image OCR]
168
+ <extracted text>
169
+ [End OCR]*
170
+ ```
171
+
172
+ ## Troubleshooting
173
+
174
+ ### OCR text missing from output
175
+
176
+ The most likely cause is a missing `llm_client` or `llm_model`. Verify:
177
+
178
+ ```python
179
+ from openai import OpenAI
180
+ from markitdown import MarkItDown
181
+
182
+ md = MarkItDown(
183
+ enable_plugins=True,
184
+ llm_client=OpenAI(), # required
185
+ llm_model="gpt-4o", # required
186
+ )
187
+ ```
188
+
189
+ ### Plugin not loading
190
+
191
+ Confirm the plugin is installed and discovered:
192
+
193
+ ```bash
194
+ markitdown --list-plugins # should show: ocr
195
+ ```
196
+
197
+ ### API errors
198
+
199
+ The plugin propagates LLM API errors as warnings and continues conversion. Check your API key, quota, and that the chosen model supports vision inputs.

+ LLM Vision plugin for MarkItDown that extracts text from images embedded in PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files.
4
+
5
+ Uses the same `llm_client` / `llm_model` pattern that MarkItDown already supports for image descriptions — no new ML libraries or binary dependencies required.
6
+
7
+ ## Features
8
+
9
+ - **Enhanced PDF Converter**: Extracts text from images within PDFs, with full-page OCR fallback for scanned documents
10
+ - **Enhanced DOCX Converter**: OCR for images in Word documents
11
+ - **Enhanced PPTX Converter**: OCR for images in PowerPoint presentations
12
+ - **Enhanced XLSX Converter**: OCR for images in Excel spreadsheets
13
+ - **Context Preservation**: Maintains document structure and flow when inserting extracted text
14
+
15
+ ## Installation
16
+
17
+ ```bash
18
+ pip install markitdown-ocr
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ The plugin uses whatever OpenAI-compatible client you already have. Install one if you don't have it yet:
22
+
23
+ ```bash
24
+ pip install openai
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ ## Usage
28
+
29
+ ### Command Line
30
+
31
+ ```bash
32
+ markitdown document.pdf --use-plugins --llm-client openai --llm-model gpt-4o
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ ### Python API
36
+
37
+ Pass `llm_client` and `llm_model` to `MarkItDown()` exactly as you would for image descriptions:
38
+
39
+ ```python
40
+ from markitdown import MarkItDown
41
+ from openai import OpenAI
42
+
43
+ md = MarkItDown(
44
+ enable_plugins=True,
45
+ llm_client=OpenAI(),
46
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
47
+ )
48
+
49
+ result = md.convert("document_with_images.pdf")
50
+ print(result.text_content)
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ If no `llm_client` is provided the plugin still loads, but OCR is silently skipped — falling back to the standard built-in converter.
54
+
55
+ ### Custom Prompt
56
+
57
+ Override the default extraction prompt for specialized documents:
58
+
59
+ ```python
60
+ md = MarkItDown(
61
+ enable_plugins=True,
62
+ llm_client=OpenAI(),
63
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
64
+ llm_prompt="Extract all text from this image, preserving table structure.",
65
+ )
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ ### Any OpenAI-Compatible Client
69
+
70
+ Works with any client that follows the OpenAI API:
71
+
72
+ ```python
73
+ from openai import AzureOpenAI
74
+
75
+ md = MarkItDown(
76
+ enable_plugins=True,
77
+ llm_client=AzureOpenAI(
78
+ api_key="...",
79
+ azure_endpoint="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/",
80
+ api_version="2024-02-01",
81
+ ),
82
+ llm_model="gpt-4o",
83
+ )
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ ## How It Works
87
+
88
+ When `MarkItDown(enable_plugins=True, llm_client=..., llm_model=...)` is called:
89
+
90
+ 1. MarkItDown discovers the plugin via the `markitdown.plugin` entry point group
91
+ 2. It calls `register_converters()`, forwarding all kwargs including `llm_client` and `llm_model`
92
+ 3. The plugin creates an `LLMVisionOCRService` from those kwargs
93
+ 4. Four OCR-enhanced converters are registered at **priority -1.0** — before the built-in converters at priority 0.0
94
+
95
+ When a file is converted:
96
+
97
+ 1. The OCR converter accepts the file
98
+ 2. It extracts embedded images from the document
99
+ 3. Each image is sent to the LLM with an extraction prompt
100
+ 4. The returned text is inserted inline, preserving document structure
101
+ 5. If the LLM call fails, conversion continues without that image's text
102
+
103
+ ## Supported File Formats
104
+
105
+ ### PDF
106
+
107
+ - Embedded images are extracted by position (via `page.images` / page XObjects) and OCR'd inline, interleaved with the surrounding text in vertical reading order.
108
+ - **Scanned PDFs** (pages with no extractable text) are detected automatically: each page is rendered at 300 DPI and sent to the LLM as a full-page image.
109
+ - **Malformed PDFs** that pdfplumber/pdfminer cannot open (e.g. truncated EOF) are retried with PyMuPDF page rendering, so content is still recovered.
110
+
111
+ ### DOCX
112
+
113
+ - Images are extracted via document part relationships (`doc.part.rels`).
114
+ - OCR is run before the DOCX→HTML→Markdown pipeline executes: placeholder tokens are injected into the HTML so that the markdown converter does not escape the OCR markers, and the final placeholders are replaced with the formatted `*[Image OCR]...[End OCR]*` blocks after conversion.
115
+ - Document flow (headings, paragraphs, tables) is fully preserved around the OCR blocks.
116
+
117
+ ### PPTX
118
+
119
+ - Picture shapes, placeholder shapes with images, and images inside groups are all supported.
120
+ - Shapes are processed in top-to-left reading order per slide.
121
+ - If an `llm_client` is configured, the LLM is asked for a description first; OCR is used as the fallback when no description is returned.
122
+
123
+ ### XLSX
124
+
125
+ - Images embedded in worksheets (`sheet._images`) are extracted per sheet.
126
+ - Cell position is calculated from the image anchor coordinates (column/row → Excel letter notation).
127
+ - Images are listed under a `### Images in this sheet:` section after the sheet's data table — they are not interleaved into the table rows.
128
+
129
+ ### Output format
130
+
131
+ Every extracted OCR block is wrapped as:
132
+
133
+ ```text
134
+ *[Image OCR]
135
+ <extracted text>
136
+ [End OCR]*
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ ## Troubleshooting
140
+
141
+ ### OCR text missing from output
142
+
143
+ The most likely cause is a missing `llm_client` or `llm_model`. Verify:
144
+
145
+ ```python
146
+ from openai import OpenAI
147
+ from markitdown import MarkItDown
148
+
149
+ md = MarkItDown(
150
+ enable_plugins=True,
151
+ llm_client=OpenAI(), # required
152
+ llm_model="gpt-4o", # required
153
+ )
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ ### Plugin not loading
157
+
158
+ Confirm the plugin is installed and discovered:
159
+
160
+ ```bash
161
+ markitdown --list-plugins # should show: ocr
162
+ ```
163
+
164
+ ### API errors
165
+
166
+ The plugin propagates LLM API errors as warnings and continues conversion. Check your API key, quota, and that the chosen model supports vision inputs.
167
+
168
+ ## Development
169
+
170
+ ### Running Tests
171
+
172
+ ```bash
173
+ cd packages/markitdown-ocr
174
+ pytest tests/ -v
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ### Building from Source
178
+
179
+ ```bash
180
+ git clone https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown.git
181
