Frequently asked questions

Why is my text not found?

Scanned PDFs are images without real text. Run OCR on the file first, then split it.

Is the search case-sensitive?

Not by default. Tick "Match upper/lower case" if you need an exact match.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your web browser, so your files never leave your device. That makes it safe for contracts, invoices and other private documents.
