Frequently asked questions
What does OCR do?
It reads the text in your scan or photo and adds an invisible, selectable text layer on top — so the PDF becomes searchable and copy-pasteable while looking the same.
Can I scan photos from my phone?
Yes. Add one or more JPG/PNG photos and they're combined, straightened and OCR'd into a single searchable PDF.
Which languages are supported?
English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Simplified Chinese — pick the one that matches your document for the best accuracy.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free with no watermark, and your file is deleted right after processing.
