PDF OCR

Run OCR on scanned PDFs to extract text.

Browser limitation

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on scanned PDFs requires a machine-learning model (e.g. Tesseract) that is too large to run reliably in-browser.

What you can do here instead

Try PDF to Text or PDF to JSON to extract plain text content from your PDF entirely in the browser - no upload needed.
