BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
A few useful answers
Does 638 mean every format has every feature?
No. The count is registered file extensions and aliases. Dedicated viewing, basic preview, system decoding and information inspection are different capabilities. Text search, editing and conversion have their own supported ranges.
Do local files have to be uploaded?
Ordinary local viewing, OCR, search and conversion operate on the device and do not require uploading document content to the NurViewer account service. Sign-in, licence verification and quotas use the account service. User-chosen external links and services have their own behaviour.
Is Free a timed trial?
Free does not expire. Initial Windows use requires Google or Microsoft account verification. Common-format reading and ordinary document/image PDF export are unlimited; advanced processing has the published limits.
Can I continue a long conversion later?
Supported EPUB PDF export and Word/PowerPoint delivery retain progress. Word/PowerPoint parts can be saved as a cumulative document. Daily allowances still apply to new processing; saving retained completed output does not consume it again.
Will a folder search read all my scanned books?
No automatic OCR is started. Search covers extractable text, including embedded OCR text layers. Coverage and skip reasons are visible in search records.
Which platforms and future features are available?
NurViewer for Windows is available in Microsoft Store. Android is coming soon. iOS and macOS are planned. The download page links to the official listing. Future subscriptions, cloud sync, translation, speech recognition and full Office/image editing are not advertised as included current features.
