Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use PDF OCR vs PDF to Text?

Use PDF OCR for scanned documents (images of paper). Use PDF to Text for digital PDFs that already have embedded text — it is much faster and more accurate.

Why is only the first page processed?

Multi-page OCR is computationally intensive. Full document OCR is coming in a future update.

How accurate is the OCR?

For clean scanned text, accuracy is typically 85-98%. Faded, skewed, or handwritten text reduces accuracy. Confidence score is shown after extraction.

Are my files kept private?

Yes. Files are sent over HTTPS and deleted within 1 hour.
