Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the equations?
For PDFs and Word files with real text and equations the result is usually very good. For scans and images the free engine is less accurate than a paid one, so doubtful equations are highlighted for you to check.
Which files can I convert?
PDF, DOCX, DOC, PNG, JPG, WebP, TXT and TeX files.
Are my documents stored?
Your documents (the file and the extracted text) are stored so you can edit and download them. They are deleted automatically 72 hours after you upload them, and you can ask us to remove a document sooner through the contact page.
Can I use the result in Word?
Yes. The Word export writes native Word equations that you can still edit.
