How PDF OCR works

Scanned or image-based PDFs contain pictures of pages rather than selectable text. OCRJet renders each page, runs optical character recognition on it, and returns the extracted text — all inside your browser.

How to extract text from a PDF

1. Drag your PDF onto the page or click to browse.

2. OCRJet processes every page automatically.

3. Copy the text or download it as TXT, Markdown, JSON, or CSV.

Is PDF OCR private?

Yes. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so your document never leaves your device. This makes OCRJet suitable for contracts, invoices, and other sensitive documents.

When to use PDF OCR

Use PDF OCR when a document was scanned or exported as images and you need to search, copy, or edit its content. This includes contracts, invoices, reports, and scanned book pages.

For multi-page documents OCRJet processes each page and joins the results, so you get the whole document in one output.

FAQ

Do PDFs need to be scanned documents?

No. Digitally generated PDFs that already contain selectable text also work — OCR simply extracts what it finds.

Are multi-page PDFs supported?

Yes. Each page is processed and results are joined with page-break markers.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The entire OCR process runs locally in your browser.
