Frequently asked questions
What can I upload?
Choose a scanned PDF, PNG, JPG, or WebP image up to 25MB. PDFs can contain up to 20 pages. For larger documents, split the PDF first.
Does my file leave my device?
No. Text recognition runs in your browser. Recognition software and the selected language are downloaded from this site, but your document is not uploaded.
Which languages are supported?
Choose English, Deutsch (German), or Türkçe (Turkish) to match the text in your document. Selecting the correct language improves recognition.
Will the original formatting be preserved?
The output is editable text. Original page layouts, images, and complex tables are not preserved. Clear, upright scans with printed text work best; handwriting and blurry photos may need manual correction.
Can I download a searchable PDF?
This tool exports text as TXT or Word (DOCX). It does not add a searchable text layer to the original PDF.
