+![docling_architecture](../assets/docling_arch.png)
+
+In a nutshell, Docling's architecture is outlined in the diagram above.
+
+For each document format, the *document converter* knows which format-specific *backend* to employ for parsing the document and which *pipeline* to use for orchestrating the execution, along with any relevant *options*.
+
+!!! tip
+
+    While the document converter holds a default mapping, this configuration is parametrizable, so e.g. for the PDF format, different backends and different pipeline options can be used — see [Usage](../usage.md#adjust-pipeline-features).
+
+The *conversion result* contains the [*Docling document*](./docling_document.md), Docling's fundamental document representation.
+
+Some typical scenarios for using a Docling document include directly calling its *export methods*, such as for markdown, dictionary etc., or having it chunked by a *chunker*.
+
+For more details on Docling's architecture, check out the [Docling Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.09869).
+
+!!! note
+
+    The components illustrated with dashed outline indicate base classes that can be subclassed for specialized implementations.
