Recognize text in a PDF (OCR)
Open a scanned PDF and recognize the text — we add an invisible text layer so the document becomes searchable. Everything runs in your browser; only the language model is downloaded.
How it works
- Open a scanned PDF or an image-based document.
- Choose the recognition language — Ukrainian, English or both.
- Save the result: the text becomes searchable and can be selected and edited.
Frequently asked questions
What is OCR and why do I need it?
OCR (optical character recognition) turns text in an image or scan into a real text layer you can search, select and copy.
Is my document sent anywhere for recognition?
No. Recognition runs in your browser; only the language model is downloaded, while the file itself stays on your device.
