What is OCR PDF Extraction?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that reads text from images. If you have a scanned PDF (where pages are just pictures), standard copy-paste won't work. Our tool scans the image, recognizes the letters, and converts them into editable text.

✔ Why use PDF Dreams OCR?

  • 100% Offline: We use advanced browser technology (Tesseract.js). Your private documents never leave your computer.
  • Free & Unlimited: Extract text from as many pages as you like.
  • Editable Output: Copy the text to Word, Notepad, or Google Docs instantly.

✔ How to Extract Text from Scanned PDF

  1. Upload your PDF file.
  2. Click Run OCR.
  3. Wait for the engine to read the pages.
  4. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

⚠ Note on Performance

OCR is a heavy task. It may take a few seconds per page depending on your computer's speed. For best results, ensure your scanned PDF is clear and readable.
