O que é PDF OCR?
Extract text from scanned PDFs and image-based documents using optical character recognition — entirely in your browser. Upload any PDF, specify a page range, and get editable text back in seconds. Powered by Tesseract.js and pdf.js, both running locally on your device. No file is ever uploaded to any server, making this the most private OCR tool available online. Once the language model is downloaded once (~10 MB), the tool works completely offline.
