Frequently asked
What file types can I OCR?
Scanned PDFs and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF). They're OCR'd automatically on import.
Is the OCR free?
Yes — free, no signup, no watermark. No account, no email, no watermark. Your file is processed in your browser session and auto-deleted within 24 hours — and we never train on your documents.
How accurate is it?
AllDocs uses Tesseract, the widely-used open OCR engine. Clear scans recognise very well; you can fix anything by editing the text directly.
