Supported formats and limitations
Input: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF. Output: XLSX workbook.
- Swatch detection and English OCR depend on layout and image quality; not every position or label is guaranteed.
- No exact color, missing label or price should be inferred from a company name. Files remain in the browser workflow; processing time depends on the device.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colors exact manufacturer specifications?
No. Lighting, camera settings, printing and compression change the sampled pixels. HEX values are approximate image measurements, not certified paint formulas or manufacturer color matches.
What happens when a printed name or code is unreadable?
Uncertain fields can remain blank and review notes or raw OCR evidence are retained in the workbook. OCR can still make mistakes, so compare every populated name and code with the correct swatch before relying on it.
