Recognize text

Results are kept ~6h, then auto-deleted — download them in time.

Upload a scan, a photo or a PDF and we extract the text for you to copy. You can also download a PDF with an invisible text layer: the page looks the same, but search and selection now work on it.

We support 13 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Indonesian, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic and Hindi. Billing is per page — 1 credit a page — so a multi-page PDF is counted by its pages. The engine is built for printed text; it handles handwriting poorly.
