Frequently asked questions
Will my RTF formatting be preserved?
RTF files can contain many older or app-specific features. Basic text, formatting and pages render directly, but advanced document elements may not match the program that created the file.
What should I do if the RTF preview looks wrong?
Open the RTF in its original editor and export it as a PDF, then select that PDF here. This is the more reliable route when exact fonts, tables, images or page breaks matter.
Can I continue editing the downloaded document?
The download is a PDF containing images of the rendered pages, not an editable RTF. Keep the original .rtf file for changes and verify the PDF before sharing it.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Standard and bulk scanning process source documents in your browser without sending those files to a processing server. HTML files may load linked online resources such as images or fonts while they are rendered.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
Standard scanning is free and needs no signup. Free scans have a fixed daily limit; Pro lifts it and also unlocks bulk scanning, an ad-free workspace and API access.
