Frequently asked questions

Why is no text found in my PDF?

Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages and contain no text. They need OCR, which is coming soon.

Is the layout kept?

Only the text is extracted, page by page. Tables and columns become plain lines of text.

Does it work with other languages?

Yes. Text in any language that is stored as text in the PDF is extracted.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The text is read in your browser and stays on your device.
