OCR PDF

Make scanned PDFs and images searchable and selectable.

Recognition runs on your device. Only the language data for non-English documents is downloaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose your PDF (or drop it on the page)
  2. Set the options for what you want done
  3. Download the finished file

Worth knowing

  • Clear scans with the page facing straight up give the best text.

Questions

Which languages are supported?

English printed text. Handwriting and other languages are not supported.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Every tool runs in your browser and your file never leaves your device. The only exception is HTML to PDF with a web address: our server fetches that public page for you, and nothing of yours is sent.
