What file formats can I upload to Inti Reader?

Inti Reader accepts PDFs, Word documents (.docx), EPUB e-books, and Markdown files (.md). You can also import web articles and blog posts directly by URL. Legacy .doc files and ODT/RTF formats are not currently supported.

Can I upload scanned PDFs to Inti Reader?

Yes. Inti Reader uses an AI vision pipeline to read scanned PDFs page by page. For best results, use good lighting, keep the camera parallel to the page, and avoid motion blur. Scanned PDFs take a little longer to process than native text PDFs.

Is there a file size or page limit for PDF uploads?

PDFs up to 50 pages are fully converted to structured, navigable text. PDFs longer than 50 pages use a direct reading mode that remains fully readable and listenable, optimised for reliability with long documents.

How do I import an article from the web into Inti Reader?

Open the Document Picker in your Library, tap Import from URL, paste the article link, and tap Import. Inti Reader fetches the article, strips ads and clutter, and adds it to your Library as a clean, readable document.

Can I upload a Word .doc file to Inti Reader?

Legacy .doc files are not supported. Open the file in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, save it as .docx, and upload that instead. Alternatively, export or print it as a PDF.

Under the hood

What happens after you upload

Inti Reader does not just store your file — it transforms it into something you can actually read, listen to, and search.

Your original file is saved. You can always download it again from your Library.
The document is converted to structured text. PDFs go through an AI vision pipeline. Word files use a precision converter. EPUBs are extracted chapter by chapter. Markdown is parsed directly.
Images are extracted and stored. Every image in your document is saved separately and displayed inline when you read.
A reading structure is built. Headings become navigation anchors so you can jump to any section instantly.
The document appears in your Library. Ready to read, listen to, search, and share with your Inti.

Getting the best results

Tips for great uploads

PDF quality matters

A PDF exported from Word or a document tool gives better results than a scan. For scanned PDFs, use good lighting and hold the camera straight.

Notion & Obsidian users

Export your note as Markdown (.md) and upload the file. Images from Notion are embedded automatically.

Google Docs users

Download as .docx (File → Download → Microsoft Word) or export as PDF, then upload. Direct Google Doc links cannot be imported.

Paywalled articles

If a URL import fails on a paywalled site, use your browser's Print → Save as PDF, then upload the PDF.

Is there a page limit for PDFs?

PDFs up to 50 pages are fully converted to structured, navigable text with headings and section navigation. PDFs longer than 50 pages use a direct reading mode — fully readable and listenable, optimised for reliability at length.
How do I import an article from the web?

Open the Document Picker in your Library, tap “Import from URL”, paste the article link, and tap Import. Inti Reader fetches the article, strips ads and clutter, and adds a clean, readable version to your Library. Works great with Substack, news sites, and most public blogs.
Can I upload a .doc file?

Legacy .doc files are not supported right now. Open the file in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, save a copy as .docx, and upload that. Or export it as PDF — both work great in Inti Reader.
How long does processing take?

Most documents are ready in a few seconds. Complex or multi-column PDFs may take 10–20 seconds. Scanned PDFs take a bit longer since each page is read by an AI vision model. Your document will appear in your Library when it is ready.
