PaddleOCR-VL Introduction

PaddleOCR-VL is a SOTA and resource-efficient model tailored for document parsing. Its core component is PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B, a compact yet powerful vision-language model (VLM) that integrates a NaViT-style dynamic resolution visual encoder with the ERNIE-4.5-0.3B language model to enable accurate element recognition. This innovative model efficiently supports 109 languages and excels in recognizing complex elements (e.g., text, tables, formulas, and charts), while maintaining minimal resource consumption. Through comprehensive evaluations on widely used public benchmarks and in-house benchmarks, PaddleOCR-VL achieves SOTA performance in both page-level document parsing and element-level recognition. It significantly outperforms existing solutions, exhibits strong competitiveness against top-tier VLMs, and delivers fast inference speeds. These strengths make it highly suitable for practical deployment in real-world scenarios.

1. Environment Preparation

Install PaddlePaddle and PaddleOCR:

python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.2.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/
python -m pip install -U "paddleocr[doc-parser]"
python -m pip install https://paddle-whl.bj.bcebos.com/nightly/cu126/safetensors/safetensors-0.6.2.dev0-cp38-abi3-linux_x86_64.whl

For Windows users, please use WSL or a Docker container.

2. Quick Start

PaddleOCR-VL supports two usage methods: CLI command line and Python API. The CLI command line method is simpler and suitable for quickly verifying functionality, while the Python API method is more flexible and suitable for integration into existing projects.

2.1 Command Line Usage

Run a single command to quickly test the PaddleOCR-VL :

paddleocr doc_parser -i https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/imgs/demo_image/paddleocr_vl_demo.png

# Use --use_doc_orientation_classify to enable document orientation classification
paddleocr doc_parser -i ./paddleocr_vl_demo.png --use_doc_orientation_classify True

# Use --use_doc_unwarping to enable document unwarping module
paddleocr doc_parser -i ./paddleocr_vl_demo.png --use_doc_unwarping True

For explanation of the result parameters, refer to 2.2 Python Script Integration.

Note: The default model for the production line is relatively large, which may result in slower inference speed. It is recommended to use inference acceleration frameworks to enhance VLM inference performance for faster inference.

2.2 Python Script Integration

The command line method is for quick testing and visualization. In actual projects, you usually need to integrate the model via code. You can perform pipeline inference with just a few lines of code as shown below:

from paddleocr import PaddleOCRVL

pipeline = PaddleOCRVL()
# pipeline = PaddleOCRVL(use_doc_orientation_classify=True) # Use use_doc_orientation_classify to enable/disable document orientation classification model
# pipeline = PaddleOCRVL(use_doc_unwarping=True) # Use use_doc_unwarping to enable/disable document unwarping module
# pipeline = PaddleOCRVL(use_layout_detection=False) # Use use_layout_detection to enable/disable layout detection module
output = pipeline.predict("./paddleocr_vl_demo.png")
for res in output:
    res.print() ## Print the structured prediction output
    res.save_to_json(save_path="output") ## Save the current image's structured result in JSON format
    res.save_to_markdown(save_path="output") ## Save the current image's result in Markdown format

For PDF files, each page will be processed individually and generate a separate Markdown file. If you want to convert the entire PDF to a single Markdown file, use the following method:

from pathlib import Path
from paddleocr import PaddleOCRVL

input_file = "./your_pdf_file.pdf"
output_path = Path("./output")

pipeline = PaddleOCRVL()
output = pipeline.predict(input=input_file)

markdown_list = []
markdown_images = []

for res in output:
    md_info = res.markdown
    markdown_list.append(md_info)
    markdown_images.append(md_info.get("markdown_images", {}))

markdown_texts = pipeline.concatenate_markdown_pages(markdown_list)

mkd_file_path = output_path / f"{Path(input_file).stem}.md"
mkd_file_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

with open(mkd_file_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write(markdown_texts)

for item in markdown_images:
    if item:
        for path, image in item.items():
            file_path = output_path / path
            file_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
            image.save(file_path)

Note:

  • In the example code, the parameters use_doc_orientation_classify and use_doc_unwarping are all set to False by default. These indicate that document orientation classification and document image unwarping are disabled. You can manually set them to True if needed.

- Calling the `print()` method will print the results to the terminal. The content printed to the terminal is explained as follows: - `input_path`: `(str)` The input path of the image or PDF to be predicted. - `page_index`: `(Union[int, None])` If the input is a PDF file, it indicates the current page number of the PDF; otherwise, it is `None`. - `model_settings`: `(Dict[str, bool])` Model parameters required for configuring PaddleOCR-VL. - `use_doc_preprocessor`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. - `use_layout_detection`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the layout detection module. - `use_chart_recognition`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the chart recognition function. - `format_block_content`: `(bool)` Controls whether to save the formatted markdown content in `JSON`. - `doc_preprocessor_res`: `(Dict[str, Union[List[float], str]])` A dictionary of document preprocessing results, which exists only when `use_doc_preprocessor=True`. - `input_path`: `(str)` The image path accepted by the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. When the input is a `numpy.ndarray`, it is saved as `None`; here, it is `None`. - `page_index`: `None`. Since the input here is a `numpy.ndarray`, the value is `None`. - `model_settings`: `(Dict[str, bool])` Model configuration parameters for the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. - `use_doc_orientation_classify`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the document image orientation classification sub-module. - `use_doc_unwarping`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the text image distortion correction sub-module. - `angle`: `(int)` The prediction result of the document image orientation classification sub-module. When enabled, it returns the actual angle value. - `parsing_res_list`: `(List[Dict])` A list of parsing results, where each element is a dictionary. The list order is the reading order after parsing. - `block_bbox`: `(np.ndarray)` The bounding box of the layout area. - `block_label`: `(str)` The label of the layout area, such as `text`, `table`, etc. - `block_content`: `(str)` The content within the layout area. - `block_id`: `(int)` The index of the layout area, used to display the layout sorting results. - `block_order` `(int)` The order of the layout area, used to display the layout reading order. For non-sorted parts, the default value is `None`. - Calling the `save_to_json()` method will save the above content to the specified `save_path`. If a directory is specified, the saved path will be `save_path/{your_img_basename}_res.json`. If a file is specified, it will be saved directly to that file. Since json files do not support saving numpy arrays, the `numpy.array` types within will be converted to list form. - `input_path`: `(str)` The input path of the image or PDF to be predicted. - `page_index`: `(Union[int, None])` If the input is a PDF file, it indicates the current page number of the PDF; otherwise, it is `None`. - `model_settings`: `(Dict[str, bool])` Model parameters required for configuring PaddleOCR-VL. - `use_doc_preprocessor`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. - `use_layout_detection`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the layout detection module. - `use_chart_recognition`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the chart recognition function. - `format_block_content`: `(bool)` Controls whether to save the formatted markdown content in `JSON`. - `doc_preprocessor_res`: `(Dict[str, Union[List[float], str]])` A dictionary of document preprocessing results, which exists only when `use_doc_preprocessor=True`. - `input_path`: `(str)` The image path accepted by the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. When the input is a `numpy.ndarray`, it is saved as `None`; here, it is `None`. - `page_index`: `None`. Since the input here is a `numpy.ndarray`, the value is `None`. - `model_settings`: `(Dict[str, bool])` Model configuration parameters for the document preprocessing sub-pipeline. - `use_doc_orientation_classify`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the document image orientation classification sub-module. - `use_doc_unwarping`: `(bool)` Controls whether to enable the text image distortion correction sub-module. - `angle`: `(int)` The prediction result of the document image orientation classification sub-module. When enabled, it returns the actual angle value. - `parsing_res_list`: `(List[Dict])` A list of parsing results, where each element is a dictionary. The list order represents the reading order after parsing. - `block_bbox`: `(np.ndarray)` The bounding box of the layout region. - `block_label`: `(str)` The label of the layout region, such as `text`, `table`, etc. - `block_content`: `(str)` The content within the layout region. - `block_id`: `(int)` The index of the layout region, used to display the layout sorting results. - `block_order` `(int)` The order of the layout region, used to display the layout reading order. For non-sorted parts, the default value is `None`. - Calling the `save_to_img()` method will save the visualization results to the specified `save_path`. If a directory is specified, visualized images for layout region detection, global OCR, layout reading order, etc., will be saved. If a file is specified, it will be saved directly to that file. (Production lines typically contain many result images, so it is not recommended to directly specify a specific file path, as multiple images will be overwritten, retaining only the last one.) - Calling the `save_to_markdown()` method will save the converted Markdown file to the specified `save_path`. The saved file path will be `save_path/{your_img_basename}.md`. If the input is a PDF file, it is recommended to directly specify a directory; otherwise, multiple markdown files will be overwritten. Additionally, it also supports obtaining visualized images and prediction results with results through attributes, as follows:
Attribute Attribute Description
json Obtain the prediction jsonresult in the format
img obtain in the format of dictvisualized image
markdown obtain in the format of dictmarkdown result
- The prediction result obtained through the `json` attribute is data of dict type, with relevant content consistent with that saved by calling the `save_to_json()` method. - The prediction result returned by the `img` attribute is data of dict type. The keys are `layout_det_res`, `overall_ocr_res`, `text_paragraphs_ocr_res`, `formula_res_region1`, `table_cell_img`, and `seal_res_region1`, with corresponding values being `Image.Image` objects: used to display visualized images of layout region detection, OCR, OCR text paragraphs, formulas, tables, and seal results, respectively. If optional modules are not used, the dict only contains `layout_det_res`. - The prediction result returned by the `markdown` attribute is data of dict type. The keys are `markdown_texts`, `markdown_images`, and `page_continuation_flags`, with corresponding values being markdown text, images displayed in Markdown (`Image.Image` objects), and a bool tuple used to identify whether the first element on the current page is the start of a paragraph and whether the last element is the end of a paragraph, respectively.

3. Enhancing VLM Inference Performance Using Inference Acceleration Frameworks

The inference performance under the default configuration has not been fully optimized and may not meet actual production requirements. PaddleOCR supports enhancing the inference performance of VLM through inference acceleration frameworks such as vLLM and SGLang, thereby accelerating the inference speed in production lines. The usage process mainly consists of two steps:

  1. Start the VLM inference service;
  2. Configure the PaddleOCR production line to invoke the VLM inference service as a client.

3.1 Starting the VLM Inference Service

3.1.1 Using Docker Images

PaddleOCR provides Docker images for quickly starting the vLLM inference service. The service can be started using the following command:

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --gpus all \
    --network host \
    ccr-2vdh3abv-pub.cnc.bj.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddlex-genai-vllm-server

The service listens on port 8080 by default.

When starting the container, you can pass in parameters to override the default configuration. The parameters are consistent with the paddleocr genai_server command (see the next subsection for details). For example:

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --gpus all \
    --network host \
    ccr-2vdh3abv-pub.cnc.bj.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddlex-genai-vllm-server \
    paddlex_genai_server --model_name PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8118 --backend vllm

If you are using an NVIDIA 50 series graphics card (Compute Capacity >= 12), you need to install a specific version of FlashAttention before launching the service.

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --gpus all \
    --network host \
    ccr-2vdh3abv-pub.cnc.bj.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddlex-genai-vllm-server \
    /bin/bash
python -m pip install flash-attn==2.8.3
paddlex_genai_server --model_name PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B --backend vllm --port 8118

3.1.2 Installation and Usage via PaddleOCR CLI

Since the inference acceleration framework may have dependency conflicts with the PaddlePaddle framework, it is recommended to install it in a virtual environment. Taking vLLM as an example:

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# Activate the environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install PaddleOCR
python -m pip install "paddleocr[doc-parser]"
# Install dependencies for inference acceleration service
paddleocr install_genai_server_deps vllm

Usage of the paddleocr install_genai_server_deps command:

paddleocr install_genai_server_deps <name of the inference acceleration framework>

The currently supported frameworks are named vllm and sglang, corresponding to vLLM and SGLang, respectively.

If you are using an NVIDIA 50 series graphics card (Compute Capacity >= 12), you need to install a specific version of FlashAttention before launching the service.

python -m pip install flash-attn==2.8.3

After installation, you can start the service using the paddleocr genai_server command:

paddleocr genai_server --model_name PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B --backend vllm --port 8118

The parameters supported by this command are as follows:

Parameter Description
--model_name Model name
--model_dir Model directory
--host Server hostname
--port Server port number
--backend Backend name, i.e., the name of the inference acceleration framework used. Options are vllm or sglang.
--backend_config A YAML file can be specified, which contains backend configurations.

3.2 How to Use the Client

After starting the VLM inference service, the client can invoke the service through PaddleOCR.

3.2.1 CLI Invocation

The backend type (vllm-server or sglang-server) can be specified via --vl_rec_backend, and the service address can be specified via --vl_rec_server_url. For example:

paddleocr doc_parser --input paddleocr_vl_demo.png --vl_rec_backend vllm-server --vl_rec_server_url http://127.0.0.1:8118/v1

3.2.2 Python API Invocation

Pass the vl_rec_backend and vl_rec_server_url parameters when creating the PaddleOCRVL object:

pipeline = PaddleOCRVL(vl_rec_backend="vllm-server", vl_rec_server_url="http://127.0.0.1:8118/v1")

3.2.3 Service-Oriented Deployment

The fields VLRecognition.genai_config.backend and VLRecognition.genai_config.server_url can be modified in the configuration file, for example:

VLRecognition:
  ...
  genai_config:
    backend: vllm-server
    server_url: http://127.0.0.1:8118/v1

3.3 Performance Tuning

The default configuration is tuned on a single NVIDIA A100 and assumes exclusive client service, so it may not be suitable for other environments. If users encounter performance issues during actual use, they can try the following optimization methods.

3.3.1 Server-side Parameter Adjustment

Different inference acceleration frameworks support different parameters. Refer to their respective official documentation to learn about available parameters and when to adjust them:

The PaddleOCR VLM inference service supports parameter tuning through configuration files. The following example demonstrates how to adjust the gpu-memory-utilization and max-num-seqs parameters of the vLLM server:

  1. Create a YAML file named vllm_config.yaml with the following content:
gpu-memory-utilization: 0.3
   max-num-seqs: 128


2. Specify the configuration file path when starting the service, for example, using the `paddleocr genai_server` command:

```bash
paddleocr genai_server --model_name PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B --backend vllm --backend_config vllm_config.yaml


If you are using a shell that supports process substitution (such as Bash), you can also pass configuration items directly when starting the service without creating a configuration file:

```bash
paddleocr genai_server --model_name PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B --backend vllm --backend_config <(echo -e 'gpu-memory-utilization: 0.3\nmax-num-seqs: 128')

3.3.2 Client-Side Parameter Adjustment

PaddleOCR groups sub-images from single or multiple input images and initiates concurrent requests to the server. Therefore, the number of concurrent requests significantly impacts performance.

  • For the CLI and Python API, the maximum number of concurrent requests can be adjusted using the vl_rec_max_concurrency parameter.
  • For service-based deployment, modify the VLRecognition.genai_config.max_concurrency field in the configuration file.

When there is a one-to-one correspondence between the client and the VLM inference service, and the server-side resources are sufficient, the number of concurrent requests can be appropriately increased to enhance performance. If the server needs to support multiple clients or has limited computational resources, the number of concurrent requests should be reduced to prevent service abnormalities caused by resource overload.

3.3.3 Recommendations for Performance Tuning on Common Hardware

The following configurations are tailored for scenarios with a one-to-one correspondence between the client and the VLM inference service.

NVIDIA RTX 3060

  • Server-Side
  • vLLM: gpu-memory-utilization=0.8

4. Serving

If you need to directly apply PaddleOCR-VL in your Python project, you can refer to the example code in 2.2 Python Script Integration.

Additionally, PaddleOCR offers other deployment methods, detailed as follows:

1.1 Install Dependencies

Run the following command to install the PaddleX serving plugin via PaddleX CLI:

paddlex --install serving

1.2 Run the Server

Run the server via PaddleX CLI:

paddlex --serve --pipeline PaddleOCR-VL

You should see information similar to the following:

INFO:     Started server process [63108]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8080 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

To adjust configurations (such as model path, batch size, deployment device, etc.), specify --pipeline as a custom configuration file. Refer to PaddleOCR and PaddleX for the mapping between PaddleOCR pipelines and PaddleX pipeline registration names, as well as how to obtain and modify PaddleX pipeline configuration files.

The command-line options related to serving are as follows:

Name Description
--pipeline PaddleX pipeline registration name or pipeline configuration file path.
--device Deployment device for the pipeline. By default, a GPU will be used if available; otherwise, a CPU will be used."
--host Hostname or IP address to which the server is bound. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
--port Port number on which the server listens. Defaults to 8080.
--use_hpip If specified, uses high-performance inference. Refer to the High-Performance Inference documentation for more information.
--hpi_config High-performance inference configuration. Refer to the High-Performance Inference documentation for more information.
