2025/06/13 2.0.0 Released
- New Architecture: MinerU 2.0 has been deeply restructured in code organization and interaction methods, significantly improving system usability, maintainability, and extensibility.
- Removal of Third-party Dependency Limitations: Completely eliminated the dependency on
pymupdf, moving the project toward a more open and compliant open-source direction.
- Ready-to-use, Easy Configuration: No need to manually edit JSON configuration files; most parameters can now be set directly via command line or API.
- Automatic Model Management: Added automatic model download and update mechanisms, allowing users to complete model deployment without manual intervention.
- Offline Deployment Friendly: Provides built-in model download commands, supporting deployment requirements in completely offline environments.
- Streamlined Code Structure: Removed thousands of lines of redundant code, simplified class inheritance logic, significantly improving code readability and development efficiency.
- Unified Intermediate Format Output: Adopted standardized
middle_json format, compatible with most secondary development scenarios based on this format, ensuring seamless ecosystem business migration.
- New Model: MinerU 2.0 integrates our latest small-parameter, high-performance multimodal document parsing model, achieving end-to-end high-speed, high-precision document understanding.
- Small Model, Big Capabilities: With parameters under 1B, yet surpassing traditional 72B-level vision-language models (VLMs) in parsing accuracy.
- Multiple Functions in One: A single model covers multilingual recognition, handwriting recognition, layout analysis, table parsing, formula recognition, reading order sorting, and other core tasks.
- Ultimate Inference Speed: Achieves peak throughput exceeding 10,000 tokens/s through
sglang acceleration on a single NVIDIA 4090 card, easily handling large-scale document processing requirements.
- Online Experience: You can experience our brand-new VLM model on MinerU.net, Hugging Face, and ModelScope.
- Incompatible Changes Notice: To improve overall architectural rationality and long-term maintainability, this version contains some incompatible changes:
- Python package name changed from
magic-pdf to mineru, and the command-line tool changed from magic-pdf to mineru. Please update your scripts and command calls accordingly.
- For modular system design and ecosystem consistency considerations, MinerU 2.0 no longer includes the LibreOffice document conversion module. If you need to process Office documents, we recommend converting them to PDF format through an independently deployed LibreOffice service before proceeding with subsequent parsing operations.
2025/05/24 Release 1.3.12
- Added support for PPOCRv5 models, updated
ch_server model to PP-OCRv5_rec_server, and ch_lite model to PP-OCRv5_rec_mobile (model update required)
- In testing, we found that PPOCRv5(server) has some improvement for handwritten documents, but has slightly lower accuracy than v4_server_doc for other document types, so the default ch model remains unchanged as
PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc.
- Since PPOCRv5 has enhanced recognition capabilities for handwriting and special characters, you can manually choose the PPOCRv5 model for Japanese-Traditional Chinese mixed scenarios and handwritten documents
- You can select the appropriate model through the lang parameter
lang='ch_server' (Python API) or --lang ch_server (command line):
ch: PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc (default) (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed/15K dictionary)
ch_server: PP-OCRv5_rec_server (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed + handwriting/18K dictionary)
ch_lite: PP-OCRv5_rec_mobile (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed + handwriting/18K dictionary)
ch_server_v4: PP-OCRv4_rec_server (Chinese/English mixed/6K dictionary)
ch_lite_v4: PP-OCRv4_rec_mobile (Chinese/English mixed/6K dictionary)
- Added support for handwritten documents through optimized layout recognition of handwritten text areas
- This feature is supported by default, no additional configuration required
- You can refer to the instructions above to manually select the PPOCRv5 model for better handwritten document parsing results
- The
huggingface and modelscope demos have been updated to versions that support handwriting recognition and PPOCRv5 models, which you can experience online
2025/04/29 Release 1.3.10
- Added support for custom formula delimiters, which can be configured by modifying the
latex-delimiter-config section in the magic-pdf.json file in your user directory.
2025/04/27 Release 1.3.9
- Optimized formula parsing functionality, improved formula rendering success rate
2025/04/23 Release 1.3.8
- The default
ocr model (ch) has been updated to PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc (model update required)
PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc is trained on a mixture of more Chinese document data and PP-OCR training data based on PP-OCRv4_server_rec, adding recognition capabilities for some traditional Chinese characters, Japanese, and special characters. It can recognize over 15,000 characters and improves both document-specific and general text recognition abilities.
- Performance comparison of PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc/PP-OCRv4_server_rec/PP-OCRv4_mobile_rec
- After verification, the
PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc model shows significant accuracy improvements in Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese in both single language and mixed language scenarios, with comparable speed to PP-OCRv4_server_rec, making it suitable for most use cases.
- In some pure English scenarios,
PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc may have word adhesion issues, while PP-OCRv4_server_rec performs better in these cases. Therefore, we've kept the PP-OCRv4_server_rec model, which users can access by adding the parameter lang='ch_server' (Python API) or --lang ch_server (command line).
2025/04/22 Release 1.3.7
- Fixed the issue where the lang parameter was ineffective during table parsing model initialization
- Fixed the significant speed reduction of OCR and table parsing in
cpu mode

2025/01/10 1.0.1 released
This is our first official release, where we have introduced a completely new API interface and enhanced compatibility through extensive refactoring, as well as a brand new automatic language identification feature:
- New API Interface
- For the data-side API, we have introduced the Dataset class, designed to provide a robust and flexible data processing framework. This framework currently supports a variety of document formats, including images (.jpg and .png), PDFs, Word documents (.doc and .docx), and PowerPoint presentations (.ppt and .pptx). It ensures effective support for data processing tasks ranging from simple to complex.
- For the user-side API, we have meticulously designed the MinerU processing workflow as a series of composable Stages. Each Stage represents a specific processing step, allowing users to define new Stages according to their needs and creatively combine these stages to customize their data processing workflows.
- Enhanced Compatibility
- By optimizing the dependency environment and configuration items, we ensure stable and efficient operation on ARM architecture Linux systems.
- We have deeply integrated with Huawei Ascend NPU acceleration, providing autonomous and controllable high-performance computing capabilities. This supports the localization and development of AI application platforms in China. Ascend NPU Acceleration

# MinerU
## Project Introduction
MinerU is a tool that converts PDFs into machine-readable formats (e.g., markdown, JSON), allowing for easy extraction into any format.
MinerU was born during the pre-training process of [InternLM](https://github.com/InternLM/InternLM). We focus on solving symbol conversion issues in scientific literature and hope to contribute to technological development in the era of large models.
Compared to well-known commercial products, MinerU is still young. If you encounter any issues or if the results are not as expected, please submit an issue on [issue](https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU/issues) and **attach the relevant PDF**.
