OCR FAQs

Why is some text not recognized correctly?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality. Low-resolution scans, handwritten notes, or complex backgrounds can sometimes confuse the engine.
Does it handle multi-page documents?
Yes. Our tool iterates through every page in your PDF. Note that OCR is CPU-intensive, so long documents may take a few minutes to complete.
Is there a cost for using OCR?
No. Unlike many cloud services that charge per page, our browser-based tool is completely free for all users with no usage limits.
