What actually changes

HEIC/HEIF is rasterized or read page-by-page and AI Vision OCR produces JSON text for heic-to-json.

Vision uses 1 AI Vision credit per page and is not available anonymously; sign in and see /pricing for credit packs.

The organization-configurable model transcribes visible text, headings, lists, forms, checkboxes, captions, and tables in reading order.

OCR does not recover hidden text layers, passwords, redacted content, embedded files, comments, or document metadata.

JSON output asks for strict structured text, but you should validate schema before automating downstream imports.

Illegible regions are marked instead of invented; scans, handwriting, skew, and low contrast affect accuracy.

Options

Page range

OCR only selected PDF pages before charging page credits.

Maximum pages

Cap the number of pages processed for cost and speed control.

Tables as Markdown

Return detected tables as GitHub-flavored Markdown pipe tables.

Preserve layout

Keep visible columns and sections when they help comprehension.

Language hint

Tell the OCR model which language to expect when auto-detection is not enough.

Example

input

HEIC/HEIF scan or photo page with headings, tables, and form labels

output

JSON OCR text in reading order; uncertain text marked [illegible]

Do it in code

cli

curl -X POST https://filetypeconverters.com/api/v1/convert \
  -F from=heic -F to=json -F file=@input.heic \
  -o output.json

FAQ

Do I need AI Vision credits?

Yes. Vision conversions cost 1 credit per page, require sign-in, and are not available to anonymous users.

Which model reads the file?

The OCR model is organization-configurable through the AI Vision setup; output quality depends on that configured model and source quality.

Will OCR recreate my layout exactly?

No. It preserves reading order and useful layout hints, but it does not recreate exact fonts, coordinates, or page design.

Can it read scanned PDFs?

Yes, scanned PDF pages are rasterized and processed as images, subject to page limits and credit availability.

Does it invent missing text?

No. The prompt instructs the model to mark unreadable regions as [illegible] rather than guessing.
