Bill of Lading Converter
Turn bills of lading into structured shipment data. Upload a BoL — carrier PDF, scanned copy or photo — and get the shipper, consignee, container and freight details back as a spreadsheet.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute, no technical knowledge required.
- 1
Upload your bill of lading
Drag and drop a PDF, JPG or PNG. Straight, house and master bills of lading from any carrier or freight forwarder are supported.
- 2
AI extracts the data
The AI pulls the BoL number, shipper and consignee details, notify party, carrier, vessel and voyage, ports of loading and discharge, container and seal numbers, weights and the freight description.
- 3
Your Excel file is ready
Download as Excel, CSV or JSON, ready for your TMS, customs filing or freight audit — without re-typing a single field.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the bill of lading converter.
Which carriers are supported?+
All of them. Every carrier and freight forwarder uses its own bill of lading layout, and DocInterpreter reads the document itself rather than relying on a per-carrier template, so no setup is required.
Does it handle scanned or faxed bills of lading?+
Yes. Scans, faxes and phone photos are treated as first-class inputs. This matters for BoLs in particular, since so many still circulate as paper or low-quality scans.
What fields does it extract from a BoL?+
BoL number, shipper, consignee and notify party, carrier, vessel and voyage number, ports of loading and discharge, container and seal numbers, package counts, gross and net weights, and the freight description.
Can it handle multi-container shipments?+
Yes. Container and freight tables with multiple rows are extracted in full, including bills where the table continues onto additional pages.
What formats can I export to?+
Excel (XLSX), CSV and JSON. You can download any of them in one click after the extraction finishes.
How much does it cost?+
You get 5 free credits when you sign up, with no credit card required. After that, paid plans start at $15/month. Credits are only deducted when an extraction succeeds.
