OCR PDF — Make Scanned Documents Searchable
Recognize text in scanned PDFs and images (English, Thai, and more) directly in your browser. Free and private.
🔒 Files are processed on your device — nothing is ever uploaded to a server
A scan is just a picture — you can't search or copy it. OCR reads the characters so you can copy, search, translate, or convert the content.
How it works
- Open the scanned PDF or image.
- Choose the document language and run OCR.
- Copy the recognized text or use it in other tools.
