Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded? +

No. PDF rendering and OCR run locally in your browser using bundled engine files.

What kind of PDFs need OCR? +

Scans and image-only PDFs need OCR because they do not contain selectable text.

How accurate is OCR? +

Accuracy depends on scan resolution, contrast, orientation, font clarity, and document layout.

Can I edit the result? +

Yes. The extracted text area is editable before you copy or download it.

Why is OCR slower than normal text extraction? +

Each selected page is rendered as a high-resolution image and analyzed character by character on your device.
