php devs, we no longer need to duct-tape python scripts just to parse a pdf 😭

launching Parsel: a fast memory efficient local document parser for PHP.

pdfs, office docs & images → text, structured data, bboxes, screenshots.

built for AI/RAG, NLP, invoices, search, and messy docs.

composer require shipfastlabs/parsel

[Saeed Anwar @saen_dev]

A native PHP document parser that does not need a Python sidecar is solving the problem that made half of PHP backends quietly spin up a microservice they never wanted to maintain.
The right tool for the runtime you are already in beats the better tool you have to integrate.
