firecrawl parse

Turn a local document into clean markdown on disk. Supports PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, XLSX, XLS, HTML/HTM/XHTML.

When to use

  • You have a file on disk (not a URL) and want its text as markdown

  • User drops a PDF/DOCX and asks what it says, or to summarize it

  • Use scrape instead when the source is a URL

Options

Option Description -S, --summary AI-generated summary -Q, --query <prompt> Ask a question about the parsed content -o, --output <path> Output file path — always use this -f, --format <fmt> markdown (default), html, summary --timeout <ms> Timeout for the parse job --timing Show request duration

Tips

  • Quote paths with spaces: firecrawl parse "./My Doc.pdf" -o .firecrawl/mydoc.md.

  • Max upload size: 50 MB per file.

  • Credits: ~1 per PDF page; HTML is 1 flat.

  • Check .firecrawl/ before re-parsing the same file.

  • To check your credit balance (recommended for batch processing and similar workflows), use the firecrawl credit-usage command.
