FAQ

Is this full OCR for every scanned PDF?

No. Text-based PDFs work through their text layer. Image OCR depends on browser TextDetector support, so scanned PDFs may need a dedicated OCR engine later.

Are files uploaded?

No. The file is read in the browser and the extracted text stays on your device unless you copy or download it.
