Frequently Asked Questions

What is OCR and how does it work?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that converts images of text into machine-readable text. It analyzes the shapes and patterns in scanned documents or photos, recognizes characters, and outputs editable text that you can search, copy, and edit.

What file formats can I convert using OCR?

Our OCR tools support JPG, PNG, and PDF files. You can convert these to searchable PDF (keeping the original look while making text selectable) or to editable DOCX format for further editing in word processors.

How accurate is the OCR text recognition?

OCR accuracy depends on image quality and text clarity. For clean scans at 300 DPI or higher, accuracy typically exceeds 98%. Factors that improve accuracy include: straight text orientation, high contrast, clear fonts, and selecting the correct language.

Can I OCR documents in multiple languages?

Yes, our OCR tools support 25+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and more. Select the primary language of your document for best results. For mixed-language documents, choose the dominant language.

What's the difference between searchable PDF and DOCX output?

Searchable PDF keeps your original document appearance while adding an invisible text layer for search and copy. DOCX creates a fully editable document where you can modify text, formatting, and layout. Choose searchable PDF for archiving, DOCX for editing.

Do you store my files after OCR processing?

Files are processed on secure servers and temporarily stored only during conversion. All uploaded files and conversion results are automatically deleted from our servers after processing completes.
