Questions before you try it?
Answers about accuracy, pricing, security, and this workflow.
How accurate is BlazeDocs OCR?+
BlazeDocs uses Mistral AI OCR and preserves reading order, headings, tables, formulas, and lists. Clean text PDFs are near-perfect; difficult scans typically exceed 95% character accuracy.
How does BlazeDocs pricing work?+
The free plan includes three uploads per month with the first five pages of each file. Paid plans start at $9.99 per month for 500 pages, with API plans for production volume.
Are uploaded documents private?+
Documents are processed securely and are not used to train models. PDFs are handled in memory rather than permanently stored; review the security and privacy pages for current controls.
Which files can the OCR API process?+
The API accepts PDFs and common image formats, including PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF, plus DOCX and PPTX through the document endpoint.
Does pricing increase for tables and forms?+
BlazeDocs plans are based on processed pages; OCR, table extraction, and Markdown formatting are included rather than stacked as separate features.
