Implement “Splitter” into your document workflow, in seconds

Available for every plan

From Mindee’s platform, create a new pre‑processing model by clicking on “Splitter” utility

You will find it at the bottom of the user interface. If you are more familiar with this type of pre-processing model, you can directly use it by checking the Documentation for more details.

User interface showing document templates including Invoice, Receipt, Resume, Financial Document, and International ID, with document utilities below: Crop, Split (highlighted by cursor), and OCR.
User interface for adding document classes with fields labeled Invoice, Receipt, Driving License, and Other, plus buttons to cancel or create utility.

Custom to your needs

Enter the document categories that correspond to your needs

Before final pre-processing, you need to define appropriate categories. Be sure to manually add an “Undefined” category. If a file doesn’t match to your document main categories, it will be available in the “Undefined” one.

PDF, HEIC, PNG, JPEG... MUltiple formats

Upload your documents without friction: universal PDF and image support

Accelerate ingestion with native support for PDFs and all image formats. From high-res scans to mobile captures, Mindee API handles any input, ensuring your data is always ready for extraction.

User interface displaying document classification results with thumbnails on the left and a JSON response on the right detailing page ranges and document types like receipts, driving licenses, and invoices.

Find all your files categorized in standard JSON format, ready for extraction based on categories

Pre-processing via auto-split can then be combined with other Mindee’s API features to further improve the granularity  or directly extract data based on each category classification.

How automated document data extraction APIs work

Five steps run behind Mindee's API, from a blurry phone photo to validated JSON your systems can trust. Pick a step to see what happens.

01 / 05 · Capture

Smart capture, from poor phone pictures to native PDFs

Bridge the gap between noisy inputs and structured data. Mindee reads low-quality phone captures, handwritten notes and native PDFs alike, and isolates several documents shot on a single picture.

  • Phone photos, scans and multi-page PDFs
  • Document borders detected automatically

02 / 05 · Pre-processing

Split and classify before a single field is read

A 40-page scan from the office printer, three receipts on one photo, invoices mixed with credit notes: Mindee finds where each document starts, labels its type and sends it to the right model.

  • Page ranges for every detected document
  • Your own document classes for routing

FAQ about Mindee's OCR API

What is automated document splitting?

Automated document splitting is a pre-processing technology that analyzes multi-page file uploads (like a 50‑page PDF) and automatically breaks them down into separate, logical documents. Instead of a human manually reviewing a file to see where one invoice ends and another begins, the AI detects document boundaries—based on layout changes, page numbering, or content shifts—to split the batch into distinct, standalone records ready for data extraction.

What are examples of automated document splitting?

Automated splitting finds where each document starts and ends inside a single file, so every one can be processed as its own record. Common examples:

Accounts payable: A vendor sends one PDF with dozens of invoices and credit notes. Each one is split out and processed individually.

Two-way matching and reconciliation: A single scan contains a purchase order and its delivery note. Splitting them lets the two be cross-referenced automatically for audits.

Customer onboarding: A new client uploads one file with their ID, a utility bill, and a signed contract. Each document is split out and sent to the right extraction model for verification.

Vehicle fleet management: Maintenance folders often mix insurance certificates, logbooks, and repair invoices. Each document is identified and filed under the right vehicle with no manual sorting.

How does automated document splitting work?

Mindee’s splitting solution uses a multi-layered approach to ensure perfect "document boundaries."

  • Visual continuity analysis: The AI looks for visual cues, such as consistent headers, logos, or page footers (e.g., "Page 1 of 3").
  • Logical boundary detection: It identifies "breaking points," such as a new invoice number, a different date, or a sudden change in document layout (e.g., shifting from a legal contract to a utility bill).
  • Batch decomposition: Once the boundaries are confirmed, the system "cuts" the multi-page file into separate digital records.

How to auto-split a multi-page source file into separate documents?

Manually splitting PDFs is a massive productivity killer. To automate this, you should implement an API with native splitting capabilities rather than trying to build custom logic in Python.

Mindee’s splitter feature handles this within the API call itself.

‍

When you upload a batch file, the solution detects the record boundaries and provides a structured output of separated documents. This allows developers to build "one-click" upload features where users can drop an entire day's worth of paperwork into a single box, and the system handles the sorting, splitting, and extraction in the background.
