W-2 PDF to JSON Converter
JSON is the format software speaks: nested, typed, and directly consumable by any modern language or API. Converting a PDF to JSON turns a document into a machine-readable object your code can validate, transform, and store without any parsing gymnastics.
Every extraction here is JSON-native — the CSV and Excel downloads are derived from it. Upload in the browser and copy the JSON, or skip the browser entirely and call the REST API from your own pipeline: same schema, same field names, every time.
W-2 conversions preserve the box structure: wages, federal and state withholding, Social Security and Medicare figures, and employer details each land in their own named column, with multi-state entries as separate rows — ready for tax-software import or side-by-side review.
How it works
- 1
Upload the w-2
PDF (including scanned), PNG, JPG, or WEBP — from any source, with no template setup.
- 2
AI extracts the fields
Wages, tips, other comp (Box 1), Federal income tax withheld (Box 2), Social Security wages & tax (Boxes 3-4), Medicare wages & tax (Boxes 5-6), and more — each with a confidence score so you know what to double-check.
- 3
Download the JSON output
A structured JSON object with stable, snake_case field names, nested arrays for repeating rows, and a per-field confidence score — identical whether you download it from the browser or receive it from the API.

When to use JSON
- →Building document upload into your own product via the REST API

- →Validating extracted values in code before they enter your system
FAQ
How do I convert a w-2 PDF to JSON?
Upload the w-2 in the browser and copy or download the JSON — or POST the file to the REST API and get the same JSON back programmatically.
Is the JSON schema stable across documents?
Yes. Every w-2 produces the same field names and structure, so code written against one response works for all of them.
Is there an API for w-2 to JSON conversion?
Yes — every plan includes REST API access with the same JSON schema as the browser, plus batch endpoints for volume.
