  • OCR can make mistakes in names, numbers, columns and equations. Check important content.
  • Supported files and page ranges depend on browser memory. Complex or protected documents may be refused.

Questions about recognising scans

Does OCR change the scanned page image?

The searchable-PDF export retains the page appearance and adds recognised text for selection and search in supported documents.

Is recognition performed on a server?

No. The recognition engine runs in your browser. Its language files load when needed, but your PDF is not uploaded.
