Upload an image-only PDF when Ctrl+F cannot find text or copying fails. Unlimited OCR renders PDF pages and extracts plain text you can copy or download.
Open the page, select a PDF, and start OCR.
Works best when the page is an image, scan, or photo.
Copy the extracted text or download a plain TXT file.
A PDF can look searchable while still being only scanned page images. OCR is the missing step between visible words and text you can select.
The current workflow keeps the public tool simple: render pages, recognize text, and return the result in page order.
This first version is optimized for plain text extraction, not heavy document reconstruction.
| Problem | What it means | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| PDF text cannot be selected | The page is probably a scan or image layer. | Run PDF OCR and copy the text result. |
| Search does not find visible words | There is no embedded text index. | Extract text before search, RAG, or summarization. |
| Need text from many pages | The PDF must be rendered page by page. | Use a clear scan and let OCR process pages in order. |
