Frequently asked questions
Why is the text empty?
Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, not real text, so there's nothing to extract. You would need OCR software for those.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser on your own device. Your files never leave your computer or phone, which makes PDFwise safe for confidential documents.
Is there a file size or usage limit?
There are no daily limits. Large files depend only on your device's memory. Most PDFs up to a few hundred pages work smoothly.
