What is PDF OCR?
+
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) converts scanned images and PDFs into searchable and editable text.
Which languages are supported?
+
We support OCR in over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and more.
How accurate is the OCR?
+
Our OCR technology achieves high accuracy, especially with clear, well-scanned documents.
Can I edit the text after OCR?
+
The output is a searchable PDF. For editing, you can convert it to Word format afterward.
Does OCR work on handwritten text?
+
OCR works best with printed text. Handwritten text recognition has limited accuracy.
Can I process multiple files at once?
+
Yes, you can upload and process multiple files. Free users have some limits while Premium users enjoy unlimited batch processing.
Does this tool work on mobile devices?
+
Yes, our tool works on all devices including smartphones and tablets with any modern web browser.
Which browsers are supported?
+
Our tool works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera.
Are my files kept private?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
What if my download does not start?
+
Click the download button again. Make sure pop-ups are not blocked and check your downloads folder.
Will this affect the quality?
+
It depends on the formats. A lossless target such as PNG, WAV or FLAC keeps what the source holds; a lossy target such as JPG, MP3 or MP4 is usually re-encoded, which trades some detail for a smaller file.
Do I need to create an account?
+
No account is required for basic usage. Creating an account gives you access to additional features and higher limits.
