Runs in your browser. The first run downloads language data (~10–20 MB); recognition takes a few seconds per page.

From a Picture of Text to Real Text

A scanned PDF is just images β€” you can't select, search or copy a word of it. OCR reconstructs the actual characters so you can quote, edit and reuse the content. This page is built for exactly that conversion, with a clean text box and download.

Best Results from Scans

Recognition quality follows scan quality: use the highest resolution you have, keep pages straight, and switch on the 3Γ— accuracy setting for small print. Clean printed text converts very well; faint photocopies are harder.

Turn a Scanned PDF into Editable Text β€” Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on image-only PDFs?

Yes β€” that's the point. It renders each page and reads the characters with OCR, producing editable text a normal text-extractor can't get from a scan.

How do I improve accuracy?

Use a higher-resolution source, pick the correct language, and try the 3Γ— accuracy option for small or dense text.

Is the conversion private?

Completely β€” it runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
