Can it extract text from scanned PDFs and images?

Are my files safe and private?
100% safe. All processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server. No data is stored, tracked, or shared.
What formats can I export the extracted text to?
You can copy to clipboard, or download as .TXT (plain text), .CSV (spreadsheet-friendly), or .HTML (formatted web page).
What is the maximum file size?
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device RAM. Files up to 50–100MB typically work well. For larger files, splitting them is recommended.
Do I need to install any software?
No installation needed. Works entirely in your browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android — no extensions or plugins required.
Can I extract text from password-protected PDFs?
You'll need to unlock the PDF first with its password. Once unlocked, text extraction works normally. We don't store passwords or unlocked content.
Can I batch process multiple files?
Currently one file at a time, but there are no limits on how many you process. Extract one file, download the result, then upload the next.
How accurate is the OCR?
Very accurate for typed text in clean images (95%+). Accuracy depends on image quality, font clarity, and language. Using the correct language setting improves results significantly.
Does it work with right-to-left languages like Arabic or Hebrew?
Yes! Our OCR engine fully supports right-to-left (RTL) languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu with proper text direction handling.
