About OCR for PDF and Images
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology transforms scanned documents and images into editable, searchable text. Our OCR PDF tool uses Tesseract.js, a powerful open-source OCR engine that runs entirely in your browser, to extract text from PDF documents and image files including PNG, JPG, and WebP formats.
This is invaluable when you need to digitize printed documents, extract text from scanned contracts, or make image-based PDFs searchable. The OCR engine works at high resolution (3x scale for PDFs) to maximize accuracy, and you can copy the extracted text directly to your clipboard.
Because the entire OCR process runs client-side using Web Workers, your documents never leave your computer. This makes it ideal for processing sensitive or confidential documents. There are no file size limits, no sign-up required, and the service is completely free.
