Is OCR: Image and PDF to Text free?
Yes. This tool is free to use without an account. You can process files again as needed, within the per-run limits shown above.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes, in a current browser with JavaScript enabled. Larger files may work better on a computer with more available memory. Processing depends on your device, not a server queue.
Will this preserve a signed or protected PDF?
Editing a PDF changes the document and invalidates existing digital signatures. Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Use an unlocked copy you are authorized to modify, and review the output.
