PNG

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. Our converter uses advanced OCR and AI technology to extract data from PNG images and convert it to structured formats.

Technical Details

PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency through an alpha channel. It stores image information in a more efficient way than GIF and can display images in 24-bit color. Our AI-powered OCR system can recognize text, tables, and structured data within PNG images.

Advantages

  • Lossless compression preserves image quality
  • Supports transparency and alpha channel
  • Excellent for graphics, logos, and text-heavy images
  • Our AI can extract structured data from images containing text and tables

Limitations

  • Larger file sizes than JPG for photographs
  • Not suitable for animation (unlike GIF)
  • Less efficient for simple graphics than SVG
  • OCR accuracy depends on image quality and clarity
JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects. It's widely used for data exchange between web applications and servers, API responses, configuration files, and data storage.

Technical Details

JSON represents data with key-value pairs in a nested structure. It supports strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, and null values, making it flexible for various data types. JSON is language-independent but derived from JavaScript syntax, making it particularly popular in web development. JSON files use the .json extension and have a MIME type of application/json.

Advantages

  • Supports complex, nested data structures
  • Native support in JavaScript and most modern programming languages
  • Self-describing and human-readable
  • Compact compared to XML and other structured formats
  • Language-independent and widely adopted as a standard
  • Perfect for API responses and data transfer
  • No special parsing tools needed - standard in most programming languages

Limitations

  • Not ideal for tabular data analysis
  • No support for comments or metadata
  • Can be verbose for large datasets
  • No schema validation built into the format itself
  • Nested structures can be difficult to analyze in spreadsheet tools
  • Converting to tabular formats requires flattening of nested objects

Common Use Cases

Data Extraction from UI

Convert screenshots of user interfaces containing structured data into JSON for testing, documentation, or integration.

Digitize Visual Data

Transform data visualizations, charts, and graphical reports into structured JSON data for programmatic analysis.
