FAQ
What languages are supported?
English by default. The OCR engine supports 100+ languages — you can select the language before processing.
Does it work with handwriting?
Tesseract is optimised for printed text and screenshots. Handwriting recognition is limited and may produce errors.
Can I upload a scanned PDF?
Not directly. Save or export the PDF page as an image (PNG/JPG) first, then upload it here.
How accurate is it?
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-contrast text with a resolution of 300 DPI or higher gives the best results.
Is my image safe?
Your image is uploaded to our EU server over HTTPS, processed, and automatically deleted within 1 hour. We never read, share, or store your files.
