OCR PDF turns scanned documents and image-based PDFs into searchable files. When you cannot select text, the page is still a picture — OCR adds a text layer so you can search and copy. Choose searchable PDF or plain text, pick language and quality, then download. Cloud processing uses encrypted transfer; uploads are deleted within two hours. Pair with Document Scanner for phone captures, or Extract Text when you only need copy-paste content.
Make scanned PDFs searchable without rewriting the document with clear text and sharp details. We balance file size against readability so your result stays usable for email, portals, and print.
Files transfer over encrypted connections. We never sell your documents. Working copies are wiped from our secure infrastructure within two hours.
Works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android — no app install for the standard flow.
Drag and drop your file, or choose it from your device.
Pick your settings, or keep the recommended defaults.
Save the finished file to your device in seconds.
Zero long-term retention. Encrypted transfer and automatic deletion after processing.
Optimized for quick browser runs so you spend less time waiting on uploads.
No desktop software. Open the page, upload, and download from any modern browser.
When a job needs more power, secure remote processing kicks in without changing your steps.
Predictable outputs for the formats we support — ready for email, portals, and sharing.
Your files are not used for ads. See our Privacy Policy for retention and security details.
No. Skip OCR on digital PDFs that already allow highlighting. Use OCR when the page is a scan or photo and text is not selectable.
Clear, flat, well-lit pages work best. Glare and skew cause wrong letters. Reshoot or use a higher quality mode before you trust legal names and amounts.
Yes — OCR needs a short encrypted cloud step. Files are processed for your request and deleted within two hours. We do not use them for advertising or public model training.
Search and copy text, compress for a portal, convert to Word to edit, or send to PDF to Excel when tables matter. Always proof critical numbers.
Yes in a mobile browser. Large multi-page scans feel faster on a laptop. Split the PDF if the job is only a few pages.
