How does it decide which XML element is "one row"?

It looks for the first element that repeats as a sibling more than once (e.g. multiple tags under an parent) and treats each occurrence as one row. Its child elements and attributes become columns.

What if my XML has no repeated elements — it's a single record?

It falls back to a one-row property/value table built from that element's own top-level fields, rather than fabricating rows that aren't there.

Are XML attributes included, or only element text?

Both — an attribute like id="1" on a record element becomes its own column alongside the values of its child elements.

What happens if my XML file is broken?

The file is checked for well-formedness before anything is extracted. An unclosed or mismatched tag is rejected with the parser's own message instead of producing a plausible-looking but wrong table.

Which fields become CSV columns?

Columns come from the fields of the first repeated record. A field that only appears in later records is not added as a column, so use a file where the first record is complete.

Does this work on an RSS feed or a product feed?

Yes, if the feed is saved as a .xml file. The repeated or element is detected automatically and each one becomes a row. It reads the file you upload and does not fetch a live feed URL.

How accurate is the AI data extraction?

Datafromfile uses AI vision models to read document structure (tables, totals, and line items) directly from PDFs, scans, and photos. Extraction quality varies by document: a clean digital PDF extracts more reliably than a blurry photo, and clearly printed text is more reliable than handwriting or a heavily irregular table layout. Every result is flagged as either high confidence or needs review, never a fabricated precision percentage, and you can check the data yourself in the editable workspace before exporting. Every plan uses the same extraction models; paid plans get more monthly volume and faster concurrent processing, not a different or more accurate model.

What file types can I upload, and what can I export to?

Upload PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, XLSX, XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, or HTML. Every plan, including Free, exports to Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON; Pro and above add Markdown export too, see the plan comparison on the Pricing page for the exact breakdown.

What if my file is too large, or has a lot of pages?

Each plan has its own real per-file limit, enforced on the actual file you upload, not just a claim: 3 MB on Free, 10 MB on Pro, 25 MB on Business, and 100 MB on Enterprise. A multi-page document, like a 10-page bank statement, is supported and read as one continuous result as long as the whole file stays under your plan's limit; a scan larger than that may need to be compressed or split first.

Is my financial and business data private and secure?

Yes. Each user’s documents are isolated at the database level, every upload travels over TLS, the original file is not kept once extraction finishes, and nothing you upload is used to train AI models.

Is the Free plan really free, and what actually triggers an upgrade?

Yes: 15 real AI operations a month (an extraction, an Ask Your Data question, or an AI transform each count as one), no credit card required, indefinitely. Excel export and AI-powered cleaning are included on Free. You'd look at a paid plan once you need more than 15 operations a month, bigger files, larger batch uploads, or Markdown export, all Pro and above.

Features

Deterministic XML parsing, not guessed by an AI model
Automatically finds the repeated element (an <item>, a <record>, a <row>) and treats each one as a table row
Element attributes are included as columns alongside child-element values
Review and edit every row in the workspace before exporting

How it works

Upload your XML: A .xml file, e.g. an export, a feed, or an API response saved to disk.
Automatic structure parsing: The parser locates the repeated element and maps its fields to columns.
Export CSV: Download as .csv or copy straight to your clipboard.
