What it reads, and how well.

Supported is not one thing. A CSV is the data. A table inside a PDF has to be reconstructed. A photograph of a stocktake sheet is read by eye. All three are accepted here, and each says which it is.

Read directly

The file is the data. Nothing is inferred and nothing is lost.

Data extracted

The numbers live inside something built for another purpose. They come out intact, and every decision made on the way out is listed.

Read by eye, then checked

Figures are read from an image. Each one is re-derived against the totals in the same picture, and anything that cannot be read confidently is reported rather than guessed.

Spreadsheets

The common case. Every sheet is read, including the ones that are notes.

Documents & decks

Reports written for people, with tables buried inside them.

Database & app exports

Whatever your warehouse, API or admin panel hands over.

Dashboards

The data behind a report someone else built — not a picture of it.

Bank & accounting

What a bank will actually give you, with the reference codes intact.

Survey & research

Files that carry their own codebook, so the labels survive the trip.

Screenshots & scans

A photograph of a printed sheet is a data source like any other.

  • .jpgJPEG photoA photograph of a printed report or a handwritten sheet is read into a table.
  • .pngPNG imageScreenshots of a dashboard or a table are read, and every figure is checked against the totals in the same image.
  • .jpegJPEG photoThe same as .jpg.
  • .heiciPhone photoAccepted as it comes off the phone. Safari usually hands it over as a JPEG.
  • .webpWebP imageRead like any other screenshot.
  • .tiffTIFF scanMulti-page scans are read page by page.

Notes & bundles

Context for the analysis, and a way to send a whole folder at once.

Every format above is accepted today. The ones that link through to a page are the ones where there is something specific worth saying about analysing them, which is a smaller set than the ones that upload.
