Imaging recommendations

The quality of image analysis results depends significantly on the quality of the images provided. Prepare your documents according to the guidelines below before running image analysis.

Recommended image profile

• Format—Supported file types in Relativity Imaging are JPEG and TIFF. Where possible, use JPEG, which provides higher quality than TIFF for image-based detection.
• Resolution—200 DPI or higher. Lower resolution may reduce detection quality.
• Color depth—Standard color or grayscale. Bitonal (black-and-white only) images may reduce accuracy for handwritten or low-contrast content.

Converting documents to images

If your documents are already native image files of the supported types listed above, you can ingest them directly. No conversion is needed.

If your documents are in other formats, convert them to images first using the Relativity Imaging workflow below. Relativity Imaging supports a wide range of file types including PDFs, Word documents, emails, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. For a full list of supported formats, see Supported file types for imaging.
