Extract Text from Scanned PDFs

Upload a scanned PDF and get back the extracted text. Powered by Tesseract OCR. Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Urdu.

The OCR engine rasterizes each page at 300 DPI and runs character recognition on the result, so results are best with clean, high-quality scans. Skewed, rotated, or low-resolution documents may produce errors.
