Frequently Asked Questions
What file types are supported?
We accept the most common image formats — JPG, PNG, JPEG, and others. If you have a PDF, convert pages to images first or use a separate PDF OCR tool.
Can this read handwritten notes?
Yes — the tool attempts to read handwritten text. Accuracy depends on legibility, contrast and handwriting style. For cursive or messy handwriting, results may require manual correction.
Is my data private?
Images are submitted to a third-party OCR API for text extraction. Avoid uploading highly sensitive documents. Do not use this tool for confidential or regulated content unless you confirm the processing policy on the privacy page.
Do I need to sign up or pay?
No signup or payment is required for basic use. The service is free to use with reasonable limits.
Why is the text inaccurate sometimes?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality: lighting, skew, resolution, and the font or handwriting. Try a clearer photo or scan, crop to the text area, and retry for better results.
