Upload files
If you already have photos or scans of documents saved as files, you don't need a camera at all. Open the Upload tab at the top of the scanner.
Drop files on the zone or click it to browse. JPEG, PNG and PDF are accepted. Each PDF page is processed as a separate document. Drop several files at once and they are handled in queue order.
Processing files
Each file becomes a card in the queue below the drop zone, showing its name, size, type and document count, with a status of Queued, Processing or Done. Inside the card there is one row per document found: a thumbnail, the document type and the holder's name, marked ✓ Extracted. Pages still being read appear as placeholder rows until their result arrives.
The result
Click a row to open the same result drawer as a camera scan: the image at the top, the extracted fields below it, grouped by Document, Personal and Address. See Scan a document for the details.
When a file can't be read
A document that fails is marked ✗ Failed and its card turns red. Click it to open the report form and send us the image and OCR text, the same flow as a failed camera scan. See Report an error.
Bulk processing
You can upload as many files as you like at once, and the drop zone stays available above the queue so you can keep adding to it. This is ideal when you have a batch of pre-scanned documents to process.
To go back to live camera scanning, open the Scan tab.
