How it works
Digital documents and scans, up to 50 pages.
The file is opened by your browser — for digital documents nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
If the PDF already contains a text layer, the text is extracted instantly and for free. Only scans go through AI recognition.
Read the text on the right, copy it in one click or save it as a .txt file.

For digital PDFs it is free and needs no account: the text is already inside the file and your browser extracts it locally, so there is nothing to pay for. Scanned documents need AI recognition — that is priced per page, shown before you start, and requires signing in.
Digital PDFs never leave your device. For scans, individual page images are sent for recognition and are not stored afterwards.
Each page is recognized by AI, including tables and columns. Unreadable fragments are marked [unclear] rather than guessed.
Up to 50 pages per document. For longer files, split them and process the parts separately.
