Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to upload my document to this OCR tool?

Yes. Your file never leaves your browser. Unlike online-ocr.com, i2ocr.com or ILovePDF OCR, we don't upload your document to any server. Everything is processed on your device with PaddleOCR and WebGPU.

How much does the OCR cost?

It's completely free, with no signup, no file limits and no character limits. There is no paid version.

What languages does it recognize?

Spanish, English and Portuguese. Each language uses a specialized recognition model that is downloaded once and cached in your browser.

Can I extract tables from an image?

Yes. The tool automatically detects tables in the image and lets you export them as CSV to open in Excel or Google Sheets. Works best with clear, well-aligned tables.

What is a searchable PDF?

It's a PDF that keeps the original image but adds an invisible text layer. This way you can search for words with Ctrl+F and select text in any PDF reader.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. If your phone has a WebGPU-compatible GPU (Chrome on recent Android), OCR runs fast. Without GPU it uses the CPU, which is slower but works just as well.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Just a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox). The AI model is automatically downloaded the first time (~21 MB) and cached.
