Tips for Best Results

• Optimize Your PDF: For the most accurate text extraction, ensure your PDF contains selectable text rather than being a scan of an image. While our tool is powerful, text-based PDFs yield the cleanest results.
• Batch Management: Remember that our free tier allows for up to 5 files per batch. If you have a large library of documents, process them in smaller groups to maintain optimal browser performance.
• Local Storage: Since this is a browser-based WebAssembly tool, ensure you have enough memory available in your browser tab for larger PDF files. Closing unnecessary tabs can help speed up the conversion process for complex documents.
