Scan to PDF — frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
What's OCR and do I need it?
OCR (optical character recognition) reads the text in your scans and embeds a searchable layer. Recommended for anything you might want to find later or copy text from.
Which image formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG and WebP. Up to 50 images per run.
Can I reorder pages after scanning?
Yes — upload in the order you want, or use Organize PDF on the result.
Will the file size be reasonable?
Yes. We optimise to RGB JPEG within the PDF. Run Compress PDF after if you need to hit a specific size.
Is OCR free?
Yes on the Pixenith free plan — OCR runs via Tesseract on our own infrastructure, no external API calls.
