Frequently asked questions
What does OCR actually do to my PDF?
It reads the scanned pages and adds an invisible text layer underneath. The pages look the same, but the text becomes selectable, searchable, and copy-pasteable.
My scan is crooked or noisy. Will it still work?
Yes. Crooked pages are straightened (up to about 15 degrees) and speckled scans are cleaned up before reading.
Which languages are supported?
Thirteen: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 60 pages and 50 MB per job. Split bigger PDFs first, then OCR the parts.
