How to Extract Text Using OCR

  1. Upload your scanned document, image, or photo.
  2. Select the primary language of the document text for accurate recognition.
  3. Click Extract Text and wait while the OCR engine processes the file.
  4. Copy the text directly, or download as a TXT or Word file.

What to know before OCR

  • Image quality matters. Sharp 300 DPI scans give the most accurate text recognition.
  • Pick the right language. Choose the document’s primary language for the best accuracy — mixed-language PDFs may need a second pass.
  • Output is searchable. The new PDF lets you select, copy and search text just like a normal document.
