What kinds of tables work best?

Tables with clear cell boundaries, readable headers, and enough spacing usually work best. Dense, low-resolution, or highly merged layouts may need manual cleanup.

Can it handle tables inside PDFs and scans?

Yes. This page is intended for tables found in PDFs, scanned documents, screenshots, and photographed printouts.

Will merged cells always stay perfect?

Not always. Complex merged cells, nested headers, and irregular spans should be reviewed manually before import or analysis.

When should I use OCR to JSON instead?

Use this page when the table itself is the main thing you want to inspect. Use OCR to JSON when you are already thinking about downstream structured export and automation.

Table OCR

Choose this page when the table structure matters as much as the text itself and you need rows, columns, or headers preserved for review.
