|---|---|
| How long files are kept | Nothing is kept on a server, because nothing is sent to one. |
| Free limits | No caps on files, pages or tasks. Your device's memory is the practical limit. |
| Account | None |
| Price | Free |
| Ads | None |
| Offline option | No app. Works in any current browser, on desktop and phone |
The pages are drawn and converted on your device. Nothing is uploaded, which means no waiting for a server and no copy of your document left behind.
This only reads real text. A scanned document is just pictures of text and will come out empty, since it needs OCR first.
Your PDF is probably a scan or a photo. There's no text layer to read.
Reading order follows the page's layout, but tables lose their grid. Check the output before relying on it.
