Frequently Asked Questions About OCR
What is OCR technology?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that recognizes text within images, scanned documents, or PDF files and converts it into machine-readable, searchable, and editable text data.
Can I convert PDF files to searchable text?
Yes! Our OCR tool fully supports PDF files. You can convert scanned PDFs to plain editable text or create searchable PDF documents where the text is selectable and searchable while maintaining the original layout.
What image formats can I upload for OCR conversion?
Our OCR service supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, and TIFF image formats. For best results, use clear images with good contrast between text and background.
Is there a file size limit for OCR processing?
Yes, the maximum file size for OCR processing is 10MB per image. If your file is larger, consider compressing it or splitting it into smaller sections before uploading.
How accurate is the OCR text recognition?
Our OCR engine provides high accuracy for clear, typed text. However, accuracy may vary depending on image quality, text clarity, font style, and document layout. For best results, use high-resolution images with clear, well-defined text.
Is my data safe when using this OCR service?
Yes, your privacy is important to us. All uploaded files are automatically deleted after 24 hours. We do not store or use your content for any purpose other than providing the OCR conversion service. You can also manually delete your files immediately after conversion.
What can I do with the OCR converted text?
After OCR conversion, you can edit the text in any word processor, search for specific content, copy and paste it into other documents, or use it for further data processing. If you choose PDF output, you'll get a searchable PDF that maintains the look of the original document while allowing text search.
