ExtractFox review
A focused PDF extraction tool with OCR, table exports, and a REST API.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ExtractFox is a cloud-based PDF data extraction tool for individuals and small teams who need tables, line items, totals, or common document fields in structured formats. It works with PDFs, scans, and images, using built-in OCR for image-only documents. Users can choose a prebuilt schema for documents such as invoices, receipts, passports, bank statements, contracts, and resumes, or describe the fields they want in natural language. Results can be exported as Excel, CSV, or JSON.
The published plans start with Free, which includes five extractions each month with an account, two extractions without signing up, and the three export formats. Starter costs $9 per month for 100 extractions. Pro costs $19 per month for 300 extractions, uploads of up to 25 files at once, up to three parallel extractions, and email support. A $5 one-time pack provides 50 extractions, with credits that do not expire. This gives occasional users a no-cost way to try the workflow and offers a one-time purchase for users who do not want a monthly plan.
Table extraction is a notable fit for documents where tables continue across pages: ExtractFox can merge those tables before export. The REST API extends the service beyond its web interface, but its developer page describes authentication as a session-auth beta rather than unattended server-to-server access. That caveat matters for teams planning automated backend workflows. ExtractFox suits individuals with periodic extraction needs and common document types; users needing higher monthly volume can compare the paid tiers, while those requiring unattended API authentication should consider alternatives.
