About this tool
PDF OCR extracts text from scanned or image-based PDFs into editable text.
OCR saves time copying clauses from scan-only PDFs. Always verify amounts and dates—0/O confusions are common.
Tip — Higher-resolution, straight pages OCR much more accurately.

FAQ
Korean supported?
Depends on the OCR language pack/settings. Ensure Korean is selected.
Low accuracy?
Low resolution, skew, shadows, or handwriting hurt results. Rescan clearer pages when possible.
Output format?
Usually downloadable text (TXT). Embedding a text layer back into the PDF may be out of scope.
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Files and text you enter are never sent to our servers.
