FAQs
Answers to the questions people ask most about privacy, quality, limits, and PDF OCR.
PDF OCR is a premium AI tool. It runs with credits after you sign in — free browser tools on Tools2Easy do not require credits.
When this tool uses a third-party API, files may be sent to that provider for processing. Check their privacy policy before uploading sensitive content. Browser-only tools on Tools2Easy never leave your device.
Sign in is required for premium AI tools that use credits. No desktop install — everything runs in the browser.
Quality controls will apply once this tool is connected. Prefer previewing output before you rely on it.
Accepted types for PDF OCR are listed in the upload area. Most browser tools work best under about 100 MB; very large files may fail or run slowly because your device does the work.
Yes, in modern mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Large PDFs, images, or videos can be slower on phones because processing uses your device memory and CPU.
Once connected, speed depends on the API and your network. Large jobs can take longer during peak usage.
Preview will be available after this tool is enabled.
Use Unlock PDF when you know the password. Other PDF tools usually need an unlocked file. Lock PDF can add a password after you finish editing.
API-backed tools may transmit files to a provider. Prefer browser-local PDF tools on Tools2Easy for confidential work when possible.
Many PDF tools accept more than one file (merge, compress, convert). The workspace shows how many files you can add. Order matters for merge — rearrange before you run the tool.
Printed, high-contrast scans work best. Blurry pages and handwriting are less accurate. Clean the scan or increase resolution before running OCR when possible.
