What to check when a source will not upload or finish processing.

3 minute readUpdated

Check the source

  • Confirm the file opens normally on your device.
  • Use a supported file type and stay within the size limit shown by the tool.
  • Remove password protection from files you own.
  • Try a readable text export if a scan or photo is unclear.

Try again with a smaller source

  1. Wait for the current upload or generation to finish.
  2. Reload the page and check your connection.
  3. Split a large document into smaller sections and try again.
  4. For a supported link, confirm it is accessible and paste the complete URL.
