# General

Available in Classic and VPC

In **CLOVA OCR > Domain** on the NAVER Cloud Platform console, you can create and manage General domains for text extraction. This section explains how to create and use a domain of the General type. For instructions on viewing, deleting, and copying domains, as well as detailed steps for integrating with API Gateway, see [Domain](/docs/en/clovaocr-domain).

## Create a domain

To create a domain with the General service type:

1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **AI Services** > **CLOVA OCR**.
2. Click **Domain**.
3. Click **[Create domain]**, then select **[General/Template]**.
4. When the **domain creation** popup appears, enter the required information.
  - **Domain name**: Enter 1-50 characters using Korean letters, English letters, uppercase and lowercase, Chinese letters, Japanese letters, numbers, and full-width or half-width special characters (&。 _-×々). Then click **[Check]** to check for duplicates.
  - **Domain code**: Enter 1-50 characters, excluding spaces, using English letters, uppercase and lowercase, and special characters (.?&。_-×々), then click **[Check]** to check for duplicates.
  - **Supported languages**: Select one or more languages supported by the domain.
  - **Service type**: Select **General**.
5. Click **[Create Domain]**.
6. To automatically detect table areas in documents and return structured data along with text, click **[Table extraction]** in the list of created domains.

              Note

              

For more details about each field in step 4, see [Domain](/docs/en/clovaocr-domain) > View domain list.

## Using the demo

You can use General OCR by uploading an image in the NAVER Cloud Platform console without integrating API Gateway. Recognition results are shown line by line, and you can download the results. A General OCR call is billed once per recognition. To use General OCR from the console without API Gateway:

1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **AI Services** > **CLOVA OCR**.
2. Click **Domain**.
3. Click **[Demo]** for the General domain.

4. When the General OCR demo interface appears, select a supported language and upload an image.
  - Image upload requirements
    - Size: 50 MB or less
    - Format: jpg, png, pdf, tiff
      - pdf: Up to 10 pages per API call; up to 30 pages for Batch
    - Resolution: 150 dpi or higher for A4; recommended minimum 10 px, up to 1960 px on the long edge

              Note

              

Starting April 23, 2026, new resolution limits apply to requested images in the Korea Region, as shown below.

- API and builder calls:  Shorter than 8,000 px on the long side.
- Batch: Height up to 25,000 px and width up to 8,000 px.
