Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI OCR and how does it differ from traditional OCR?
AI OCR (Artificial Intelligence Optical Character Recognition) combines text recognition with Large Language Models to "read" images like a human would. Unlike traditional OCR that simply matches character patterns, AI OCR understands context, fixes errors automatically, and infers missing information.
Traditional OCR often fails with blurry images or complex layouts. AI OCR uses deep learning to distinguish between code syntax, mathematical logic, and text paragraphs - enabling accurate extraction with proper formatting, LaTeX conversion for formulas, and Mermaid syntax for diagrams, all with significantly higher accuracy.
Can it recognize handwriting?
Yes. Our AI models are trained on diverse handwriting datasets and perform significantly better than standard OCR on handwritten content.
While neat handwriting yields the best results, our tool can handle handwritten notes, math equations, and whiteboard brainstorming sessions. For optimal accuracy, ensure good lighting, clear contrast, and avoid extreme angles when capturing handwritten content.
Is this service completely free?
We always includes a generous Free tier. Unauthenticated visitors can run up to 5 conversions per day, while signed-in users get 8 daily conversions across every recognition type.
When you need higher limits, no ads, or guaranteed priority, Premium unlocks 1,000 conversions per month, removes ads entirely, and moves your jobs into a faster queue. You can upgrade or downgrade whenever you like.
What file formats and sizes are supported?
We support PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP image formats with a maximum file size of 10MB per upload.
For best results, use clear screenshots or high-quality images with good contrast. Our system automatically handles common image issues including rotation correction, noise reduction, brightness adjustment, and perspective correction.
Clear, high-resolution images work best. Avoid blurry images, extreme angles, or very low resolution as they may affect accuracy.
How accurate is the recognition?
Recognition accuracy depends on image quality and content complexity. Clear screenshots of printed code typically produce excellent results, while handwritten formulas and complex diagrams may require manual review.
We support 50+ programming languages with automatic language detection and syntax validation. For formulas, we handle complex LaTeX notation including matrices, integrals, and special symbols. The system works best with clear, well-lit images with good contrast.
Is my data secure and private?
Yes. Your images are processed securely and transmitted with encryption. We don't store your uploaded files or use your data for model training.
All processing happens on secure cloud infrastructure. We don't share your data with third parties or retain any personally identifiable information. Your code, formulas, and diagrams remain completely private.
