Question 1

How fast is 'fast'?

Accepted Answer

Kreuzberg is built on a high-performance Rust core, so most documents are processed almost instantly- in milliseconds instead of seconds. For bulk jobs that's thousands of pages per hour on a single API key.

Question 2

What file types do you support?

Accepted Answer

PDFs (native and scanned), images (JPG, PNG), Microsoft Office (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX), web content, and plain text. We detect document type automatically and optimize extraction for each format.

Question 3

Do you handle scanned documents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Built-in OCR recognizes text in images and scanned PDFs. No additional configuration needed—just send the file and get structured output back.

Question 4

What happens to my documents?

Accepted Answer

Documents are processed in memory and deleted immediately after extraction. No storage, no indexing. We don't train on your data or use it for model improvement.

Question 5

I already use your open-source library with good results. Why should I try Kreuzberg cloud?

Accepted Answer

The open-source engine is fully usable and powerful on its own. Kreuzberg Cloud removes the operational complexity, so you can run it in production without worrying about managing infrastructure.
