From a screenshot or PDF
Upload an image or a PDF instead of typing, what affects how accurately Magic reads it, and the upload limit.
Magic reads images and PDFs as well as text.
Supported sources
- Screenshots of a schedule or a message thread
- Photos of a printed handout
- PDFs of newsletters and season schedules
Image quality
Magic reads the text in the image, so legibility affects the result. A straight, evenly lit photo of a page produces more accurate events than an angled or low-light one.
Use the additional context field for anything the image does not state, such as the year, the time zone, or whose activities these are.
Upload limit
A free account includes 10 image and PDF uploads. The composer shows how many remain once you are down to the last three. Text prompts are not counted against this limit. A Plus plan removes it.
