AI-Powered Document Conversion Technology
Traditional document converters rely on parsing embedded metadata and text streams within files. This approach works well for simple, digitally-created documents but often fails with scanned PDFs, complex layouts, or documents where formatting information is incomplete or corrupted.
Our AI-powered tools take a fundamentally different approach. Using state-of-the-art machine learning models, they analyze documents visually—the same way a human would. This enables accurate detection of document structure regardless of how the file was created.
How AI Document Analysis Works
Visual Analysis
Each page is rendered as an image and analyzed by deep learning models trained on millions of documents.
Structure Detection
AI identifies headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and figures with precise bounding boxes.
Interactive Editing
Review and adjust detected elements before generating the final converted document.
AI vs Standard Conversion
| Feature | Standard Conversion | AI Conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Scanned document support | Limited or none | Full OCR support |
| Complex layout handling | Often breaks structure | Visual understanding |
| Table detection | Metadata-dependent | Visual detection |
| Multi-column documents | Usually fails | Column-aware |
| Interactive preview | Not available | Full editor |
| Processing speed | Very fast | Slower (ML inference) |
When to Use AI Conversion
AI conversion is ideal for scanned documents, PDFs with complex formatting, academic papers with multi-column layouts, financial reports with embedded tables, and any document where standard conversion produces unsatisfactory results.
For simple, digitally-created documents with clean structure, standard conversion tools may be faster and equally effective. Use AI tools when accuracy and structure preservation are critical.
Available AI Tools
OCR and Text Extraction
For scanned documents, our AI tools integrate advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. Unlike basic OCR that just extracts text, our system preserves document structure— recognizing that a large bold line is a heading, indented text is a list item, and aligned columns form a table.
This combination of visual layout detection and OCR produces editable documents that maintain the original formatting, making them suitable for further editing in Word or Excel.
Privacy and Processing
All AI processing happens on our secure servers. Documents are processed in memory and automatically deleted after conversion. The AI models run locally on our infrastructure— your documents are never sent to third-party AI services.
