OCR PDF Scanner

Extract Text from Scanned PDFs Online

Dealing with scanned documents or images containing text can be frustrating. You can't search them, copy content from them, or edit them. Our OCR PDF Tool solves this by converting static images into editable, searchable text using advanced Optical Character Recognition technology.

How It Works

The process combines PDF rendering with machine learning:

• Step 1: Rendering. We render every page of your PDF into a high-resolution image in your browser.
• Step 2: Analysis. The Tesseract OCR engine scans these images, identifying patterns of light and dark to recognize letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Step 3: Extraction. The identified characters are assembled into words and paragraphs, preserving the reading order of the document.

Privacy & Performance

Most OCR tools require you to upload your sensitive files to a server queue, where they might be stored. Our tool is 100% Client-Side. We load the OCR engine directly into your web browser. Your confidential contracts, invoices, and receipts never leave your computer.

Supported Languages

This tool is currently optimized for English documents, but it can recognize standard Latin characters used in many European languages. It works best on high-contrast, clear scans typed in standard fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.).
