OCR PDF or image

Run OCR on a scanned PDF or image in your browser — recognize text and download a .txt or searchable PDF. No upload, no signup.

Run OCR on a scanned PDF, photo or screenshot to recognize the text in it, without uploading anything. Download the recognized text as a plain .txt file, or create a searchable PDF with an invisible text layer over the page image so the file becomes selectable and copyable. Supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Everything runs in your browser, so sensitive scans stay on your device. Free, no account.
