Image to PDF OCR Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert photos taken with my iPhone or Android camera?
Yes. You can upload photos taken directly from your phone camera (JPG, PNG, WEBP). ParseExtract's neural OCR handles slight skews, camera shadows, and varied lighting conditions.
Is the text in the resulting PDF truly selectable and editable?
Yes. The text is layered using PDF text operators positioned directly over the image. You can click and drag with your mouse cursor to highlight words, press Ctrl+C to copy, or open the PDF in PDF editors (like Acrobat Pro or LibreOffice Draw) to edit text.
Does this tool support multiple languages in images?
Yes. In addition to multilingual English and European Latin text, ParseExtract includes specialized neural models for Arabic, Hindi (Devanagari), Russian (Cyrillic), Korean, Thai, Greek, Tamil, and Telugu.
