Frequently asked questions
Does it serve for scanned PDF?
Yes. Each page becomes an image within the browser and Florence-2 tries to recognize the visible text.
Can I select just a few pages?
Yes. You can specify a start and end page. The tool processes up to 20 pages per run.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is opened, rendered, and analyzed locally on your device.
Why does the first run take longer?
On the first run, your browser needs to download Florence-2. It can then reuse cached files.
Is the OCR perfect?
No. Accuracy depends on resolution, skew, contrast, font, language, and scan quality. Review the text before using it.
How does it differ from PDF to text?
PDF to Text extracts an existing text layer. Extract Text from PDF (AI OCR) analyzes each page visually, so it can work with scanned documents.
