OCR extracts text from images and scans

Files stay on your device — never uploaded

Optical Character Recognition reads text inside images. Use this for scanned PDFs where the pages are pictures of text rather than embedded text.
No. Both PDF rendering and OCR happen in your browser via pdfjs and tesseract.js. Nothing leaves your device.
PDF to Text only extracts embedded text strings. OCR analyses pixels page by page and runs a neural model — much heavier, but works on scans.
