A FEW MORE DETAILS

Frequently asked
questions.

Read the quickstart
Can I customise the Resume Parser?

Yes. You define the field names, types, nested objects and arrays. Published templates are starting points that become private, editable copies in your account.

Does it extract work experience, education and projects?

Yes. Work experience includes company, job title, dates, achievements and technologies. The template also includes education, skills, projects, certifications, awards, patents and publications. Explore the complete schema in the product's template Library.

How is the candidate email validated?

Email is required and must match the template's email pattern. This checks its format; it does not verify whether the address can receive mail. Full name, degree, institution, and each work entry's company, job title and start date also have required rules.

Which file formats can I use?

SimplyParse accepts PDFs, images (PNG, JPG, JPEG and WEBP), DOCX documents and Excel spreadsheets. Choose a template or define your own schema to extract structured JSON. Your parser also has a configurable maximum page limit.

How does billing work?

Your first 100 pages are free. Purchase-volume rates are $0.07 / ₹6 per page for Starter, $0.06 / ₹5 for Growth and $0.05 / ₹4 for Scale. Add prepaid credits from $10 or ₹500; credits remain valid for 3 months. Failed processing is not charged. Review your applicable rate in the app.
