Turn scans into searchable PDFs.

OCR scanned PDFs and images without uploading the document to OneFreePlace. Classify pages first, skip pages that already have text, review low-confidence words, re-run difficult pages, then export a searchable PDF plus plain text or structured OCR data.

Built for real document cleanup

The document stays in your browser. OCR engine and language files are loaded from OneFreePlace only when needed; your source file is not uploaded.

Preserve original vector pages that already have searchable text

OCR text is overlaid invisibly on the same rotation-corrected page image used by the OCR engine, keeping text coordinates aligned. With Original appearance selected, the scan stays visually faithful; cleanup modes intentionally normalize difficult pages. Already-searchable PDF pages can remain untouched.
