Supported formats

Know what PHIPass can inspect before you begin.

Supported formats are processed only when the relevant extraction, redaction, and validation checks pass.

PDF

Text layers, scanned pages, metadata, and embedded surfaces.

DOCX

Paragraphs, tables, headers, footers, comments, and properties.

Images

JPG, JPEG, and PNG OCR with burned-in text redaction.

DICOM

Metadata, private tags, pixel data, and burned-in annotations.

TXT

Text extraction followed by an independent validation pass.

Important limitations

Unsupported or uncertain content is not cleared for sharing.

Encrypted files, archives, unsupported office formats, uninspectable embedded objects, and audio/video are unsupported. OCR can miss low-contrast, rotated, stylized, or modality-specific overlays. Review every verified output against your organization's policy.
