About this OCR PDF or Image to Text tool
Extract text from scanned PDFs and images with local Tesseract OCR.
OCR PDF or Image to Text converts OCR files into TEXT output for easier sharing, editing, uploading, or compatibility with apps and devices.
How to use it
- Select or drop your file into the upload box.
- Choose any available options for size, quality, pages, or language.
- Run the tool and wait for the result to finish processing.
- Download the output file and check it before sharing or deleting your original.
Good to know
- Supported formats include PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF and BMP.
- OCR to Text extracts editable text from scanned PDFs and images so you can copy, search, and reuse the content.
- Use clear, readable source files. Scanned pages work best when text is straight, sharp, and not covered by shadows.
Privacy and reliability
Uploaded files are used only to complete the action you request. Some tools run directly in the browser, while heavier conversions may process temporarily on the server and then remove working files after the result is created.
FAQ
Is this tool free?
Yes. You can use this tool without creating an account.
Will the output always look identical?
Most conversions keep the content as close as possible, but compression, OCR, video processing, and format changes can affect quality depending on the source file.
What should I do if a file fails?
Try a smaller file, check that the file is not corrupted, and make sure the file type matches one of the supported formats listed above.
