Have a scanned document or an image containing text that you need to edit? Our free online OCR PDF tool utilizes advanced Optical Character Recognition technology to identify and extract text from your files. Instead of manually retyping hours of data, you can instantly convert scanned PDFs, receipts, invoices, and photographs into selectable, editable, and searchable text. The process is remarkably fast, highly accurate, and runs entirely in your browser for maximum privacy.
How to Extract Text from Scanned PDF
Traditional PDFs created from scanners are simply flat images. You cannot select or copy the text. To extract text from scanned PDF files, you need OCR. Simply upload your document, and our intelligent neural-network-powered engine will scan the image, recognize the characters, and generate raw text that you can copy to your clipboard or download as a text file. It supports multiple languages and handles complex layouts effortlessly.
The Best Image to Text Converter
Beyond just PDFs, our image to text converter works beautifully with JPG and PNG files. Whether you took a photo of a whiteboard after a meeting or scanned a page from a book, you can digitize the content in seconds. Furthermore, because our OCR processing operates locally on your machine, your sensitive documents and private photos are never uploaded to our servers, guaranteeing complete data security.
