Digital pages are parsed with vector precision, while scanned pages are processed through OCR bounding-box detection, providing a seamless multi-sheet Excel file.
Yes, 100% free. There are no hidden fees, page limits, paywalls, or credit card requirements. We use open-source WebAssembly technology that runs directly on your computer's CPU.
No. Unlike other converter tools, your PDF files, financial tables, and scanned pages are never sent to external cloud servers. All OCR computations happen locally in your browser memory.
OCR accuracy depends directly on scan resolution, lighting, contrast, and font clarity. High-resolution (300 DPI) printed documents typically yield over 90% accuracy.
Because OCR involves optical character estimation, characters like 0 (zero) vs O (letter O), or 1 (one) vs l (lowercase L) can occasionally be misread if document quality is low. Always review extracted formulas, sums, and numbers before making critical financial decisions.
