OCR PDF

Make scanned PDFs searchable with private, offline OCR

Files are processed locally. Nothing is uploaded.

Searchable PDF output

Recognized English text is added as a selectable and searchable text layer.

Private local processing

Your PDF and recognized text stay on your device and are never uploaded.

Downloaded only when needed

The OCR engine and English model load only when you use this tool, not when using other PDF tools.

Works offline after first use

OCR components are cached after their first download so the tool can be used offline later.

Multiple OCR languages

Select the document language before running OCR. The page language is selected by default.

Rasterized output

Pages are rendered into images before OCR, so original interactive elements and text formatting are flattened.
