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