OCR PDF generates a page-by-page text output from your uploaded PDF, entirely in your browser.
Step-by-step
- Upload your scanned or image-based PDF.
- Run OCR to process the document.
- Copy the text or download it as a TXT file.
What to know before relying on it
This tool doesn't currently perform genuine character recognition on scanned page images — it produces a placeholder, page-by-page output rather than real recovered text. For actual text recovery from scanned documents, you'll need a dedicated OCR product for now.
