How long does PDF analysis take?

PDF authenticity checking typically completes within a few seconds for most documents. The analysis time depends on file size, complexity, and server load.

Typical processing times:

• Small PDF files (under 1 MB) usually process in 2-5 seconds
• Larger files (5-10 MB) may take 10-20 seconds

The multi-layer PDF verification process includes metadata extraction, structural analysis, signature verification, and risk scoring—all optimized for speed. You’ll see real-time progress updates during upload and analysis.

Our PDF modification detection service is designed for instant results, allowing you to quickly verify document integrity without waiting. If analysis takes longer than expected, it may indicate a complex PDF structure or temporary server load, but most PDF authenticity checks complete rapidly.
