Frequently asked questions

Which languages can it read?

English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Chinese — plus an English+Hindi combined mode for mixed documents.

How accurate is it?

Very good on clear scans and screenshots; lower on blurry photos or handwriting. Higher-resolution images give better results.

Can it OCR a whole scanned PDF?

Yes — each page is rendered and recognized in sequence, with page markers in the output.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every iConvertDoc tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Files are opened on your own device, processed locally, and never transmitted anywhere — you can even go offline after the page loads.

Is this really free? Any limits or watermarks?

Completely free — no sign-up, no daily limits, no watermarks, no premium tier hiding features.
