Questions from the bench

How do I convert a scanned PDF to editable text for free?
Sign in to a free FastOCR account and upload your scanned PDF. After processing, download the extracted text, a Word document or a searchable PDF. You can process 50 PDF pages free each month. No credit card is required.
Is my data private and secure on FastOCR?
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Uploaded documents and extracted outputs are automatically deleted after 30 days. FastOCR never sells data or uses private documents to train public AI models.
Is FastOCR really free to use?
Yes. Image OCR is free: try 3 images a day without an account, or sign in free for unlimited image OCR. Website image uploads do not use your PDF page allowance. PDFs require a free account and include 50 pages a month; API document jobs share that allowance. For more PDF pages, see the page packs and subscriptions on our pricing page.
How do I extract tables and transactions from bank statements into Excel?
Upload a digital PDF statement from a US or UK bank account at fastocr.org/bank-statement. You get an Excel (XLSX) and a CSV file with dates, descriptions, money in, money out and balances, and the page tells you whether the statement reconciles. Scanned statements and photos are read with OCR and may need more review. Check dates and descriptions against your statement.
What file types and document sizes can I upload?
FastOCR accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, HEIC and HEIF images up to 20 MB, and PDFs up to 1 GB. HEIC and HEIF photos are converted in your browser before upload. Text languages are detected automatically.
