# What is Smart Cut?

**Smart Cut** is a Windows **Excel add-in** for audit, finance, and tax teams. It brings supporting **PDFs and images** beside the worksheet so users can **snip** text, tables, and sums into cells, run **local OCR**, and keep **page-level evidence links** inside the workbook.

## Category

Smart Cut belongs to the same product category as Excel-native audit tools often compared to **DataSnipper**: document snipping, OCR, and source-linked workpapers without leaving Excel. Smart Cut is independent and not affiliated with DataSnipper.
