🔎 Turn a scanned PDF into selectable text
OCR PDF
Run on-device text recognition over a scanned or image-only PDF and get back copyable, searchable text — no file is ever uploaded to a server.
Recognition runs fully on your device using a WebAssembly OCR engine — your file is never uploaded.
Upload a scanned PDF to start
Everything happens in your browser — your file is never uploaded.
How it works
- Upload a scanned or image-only PDF.
- Pick a language and run recognition — this can take a little while for longer documents.
- Copy the text, or download the full .txt (clean version with the Tools Pass).
