Online OCR: Turn the Text in Images into Editable Text

OCR (optical character recognition) makes image-only PDFs searchable, copyable, and editable. When you receive a scan or a PDF made of images and ordinary conversion extracts no text, OCR is the way out.

• Upload and it auto-detects: PDFs without a text layer go through OCR.
• Supports Chinese and English, covering the first 5 pages per file.
• The recognized text is exported as an editable Word document for proofreading and reuse.

FAQ

Is online OCR free? Scanned PDF to Word via OCR also counts toward the daily free conversions; credit packs cover higher usage.

How accurate is OCR? Clear scans work well; handwriting, blurry files, and complex tables reduce accuracy.

Does it support Japanese or Korean? Not guaranteed yet — Chinese and English are the current focus.
