Supported file formats and upload limits

Limits that apply to every upload

• Each file can be up to 15 MB.
• You can add up to 10 files in one upload. They are analyzed one after another so you see each result as it is ready.
• Very large PDFs and images are stored, but only files up to about 7 MB are passed to the AI model as a whole. For larger scans, split the PDF or reduce the photo resolution.
• Long documents are analyzed from the first part of the extracted text. For very long contracts, upload the sections you care about separately for more detail.
• Files with other extensions are skipped, and the upload page tells you which ones.

Tips for photos of paper documents

• Lay the page flat in good, even light and avoid shadows across the text.
• Fill the frame with the page and keep the camera parallel to it.
• Take one photo per page. Add all pages in the same upload so you get one result per page.
• HEIC photos from iPhones are accepted, so there is no need to convert them first.

Which format gives the best result?

A digital PDF or DOCX file gives the most reliable result, because the text can be read exactly. A clear photo works well for one or two page letters and notices. Older .doc files and blurry photos give weaker results, and the explanation may be incomplete. The AI model is instructed not to invent facts that the document does not support.
