How to use this tool
Upload one supported image to the free tool, or sign in and select batch, PDF, table, or structured extraction for the document type.
Crop and rotate the source where needed, then run OCR without assuming that handwriting, dense tables, or formulas will be perfect.
Compare names, dates, totals, decimal separators, formulas, merged cells, and reading order with the original document.
Correct errors and export to the format appropriate for editing, spreadsheets, data processing, or the API consumer.
Delete sensitive processing history and files when finished, and never use unverified OCR output for payments, identity, legal, or medical decisions.
