Frequently Asked Questions
What languages does the OCR support?
Our OCR engine supports most Latin-based languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and more. Results vary by image clarity.
What image quality gives the best OCR results?
Higher resolution images (300 DPI or higher) with good contrast between text and background give the best results. Blurry or very low-resolution images may have lower accuracy.
Can I extract text from a PDF screenshot?
Yes — take a screenshot of any PDF page and upload it for text extraction. For native PDFs, we recommend our PDF to Image tool first.
Can OCR read handwriting?
Our basic OCR is optimised for printed text. Handwriting recognition accuracy depends heavily on handwriting clarity and consistency.
