Turn a scanned PDF into a searchable, selectable document — free to try, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the PDF OCR Tool
Runs optical character recognition on every page of a scanned PDF and adds an invisible, precisely-positioned text layer on top of the original page images — so you can select, search, and copy text while the page still looks exactly the same.
100% Private — Processed in Your Browser
Every file stays on your device. DCPIXEL processes images entirely using the browser's built-in Canvas API and WebAssembly — zero server uploads, zero data collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace the original page images?+
No. The original page appearance is kept exactly as-is — an invisible text layer is added on top so you can select, search, and copy text.
How accurate is the recognized text?+
Accuracy depends on scan quality and font clarity, similar to any OCR tool. Clean, high-resolution scans in a supported language produce the best results.
Can I OCR a PDF in a language other than English or Portuguese?+
Spanish and French are also available. If you need another language, let us know — more can be added.
