Nanonets Review: Schema-Driven Document Extraction (2026)

Schema-first PDF extraction that produces usable exports, but dense table rows still need review.

TL;DR — our verdictUpdated July 2026 · 6 test artifacts

Strong schema extraction, weaker row fidelity

Where it wins
  • You need direct PDF uploads with custom JSON schema extraction for bank statements or invoices.
  • You need downloadable CSV/JSON exports and a review UI for inspecting extracted rows.
  • You can tolerate some row-level cleanup in exchange for strong document-level structure.
Main limitation
  • You need bank-statement transaction rows to be lossless on the first pass.

Our take

Nanonets handled direct PDF uploads, custom schemas, and downloadable exports well, and the earlier page positioned it for plain-English questions over extracted data. In this report, the weak spot is record-level fidelity: bank-statement transactions were often merged or incomplete, and one invoice line item came through partially, so it works best with human review before downstream use.

Schema-Driven Document Extraction
Strong for known schemas and top-level fields.
Test Summary
Feature tested: Schema-Driven Document Extraction
Result: Partial — Strong for known schemas and top-level fields.

Feature tested: Schema-Driven Document Extraction

Result: Partial

Verdict: Strong for known schemas and top-level fields.

Expected behavior: Nanonets accepts direct PDF uploads plus a custom JSON schema and populates nested document objects rather than flattening everything into generic OCR text. In the tested bank-statement and invoice runs, it reconstructed metadata, account details, balances, summary fields, and invoice metadata.

Test case: PDF document → Text/code file

Input type: PDF document

Input used: Input artifact (PDF document): INPUT — Bank Statement PDF.pdf

Observed output: Output artifact (Text/code file): The bank-statement output follows the requested schema closely, with top-level metadata, account details, statement period, balances, and summary objects populated in structured JSON rather than returned as flat OCR text. — docstrange-nanonets-bank-statement-output.json

What changed: PDF document transformed into Text/code file

Test case: PDF document → Text/code file

Input type: PDF document

Input used: Input artifact (PDF document): INPUT — Invoice PDF.pdf

Observed output: Output artifact (Text/code file): The invoice output also follows the supplied schema, filling invoice metadata, advertiser, station, account, billing, remit, line_items, and summary sections as structured JSON. — docstrange_nanonets-invoice-output.json

Input artifact: Input artifact (PDF document): INPUT — Invoice PDF.pdf

Output artifact: Output artifact (Text/code file): The invoice output also follows the supplied schema, filling invoice metadata, advertiser, station, account, billing, remit, line_items, and summary sections as structured JSON. — docstrange_nanonets-invoice-output.json

What changed: PDF document transformed into Text/code file

Why it matters / Conclusion: Best when the schema is known ahead of time; document-level structure came through reliably.

Row-Level Table Extraction
Mixed: invoice rows were mostly clean, but bank-statement transactions were noisy.
Test Summary
Feature tested: Row-Level Table Extraction
Result: Partial — Mixed: invoice rows were mostly clean, but bank-statement transactions were noisy.

Feature tested: Row-Level Table Extraction

Result: Partial

Verdict: Mixed: invoice rows were mostly clean, but bank-statement transactions were noisy.

Expected behavior: The tool extracts tabular data as records from documents such as the bank statement and invoice. In the tested runs, transaction rows and invoice line items were produced, though some dense rows needed cleanup.

Test case: Image → Text/code file

Input type: Image

Input used: Input artifact (Image): INPUT — bank-statement-18-jun-transactions.png

Observed output: Output artifact (Text/code file): The bank-statement extraction preserved row structure but not row fidelity: some transaction descriptions merged neighboring content, several rows were missing dates, and transaction_type remained null across the dataset. — docstrange-nanonets-bank-statement-output.json

What changed: Image transformed into Image

Why it matters / Conclusion: Good enough for cleaner invoice tables, but bank-statement transactions needed the most cleanup.

The tool extracts tabular data as records from documents such as the bank statement and invoice. In the tested runs, transaction rows and invoice line items were produced, though some dense rows needed cleanup.

Multi-Format Export
Strong export support across common handoff formats.
Test Summary
Feature tested: Multi-Format Export
Result: Passed — Strong export support across common handoff formats.

Feature tested: Multi-Format Export

Result: Passed

Verdict: Strong export support across common handoff formats.

Expected behavior: The tool can download or copy extracted data in multiple downstream formats, including JSON, CSV, HTML, and Markdown. The tested report confirms handoff files in CSV and JSON for extracted bank and invoice data.

Test case: PDF document → Text/code file

Input type: PDF document

Input used: Input artifact (PDF document): INPUT — Bank Statement PDF.pdf

You need downloadable CSV/JSON exports and a review UI for inspecting extracted rows.
You can tolerate some row-level cleanup in exchange for strong document-level structure.
✕ Skip This If
You need bank-statement transaction rows to be lossless on the first pass.
You need every invoice line item to be fully populated without post-check review.
You need a documented correction or audit workflow from the tested interface.
productivityother-productivitytext
Yes. The report says both the bank statement and invoice were uploaded directly through the UI with no preprocessing needed.
Yes. Both test runs used custom JSON schemas, and schema validation passed on the first try.
The report explicitly says JSON, CSV, HTML, and Markdown exports were available, and it also mentions download and copy-to-clipboard support.
High-level metadata came through well, but transaction rows were noisy. The report says descriptions were often garbled or concatenated, transaction_type was null, and dates were missing on 15+ transactions.
Mostly good at the metadata and line-item level, but not perfect. The report says all eight line items were extracted, while program descriptions were concatenated and line 8 was missing several fields such as flight period and frequency.
The bank statement took 1 minute 9 seconds, and the invoice took 32.7 seconds.
