Frequently asked questions
Is OCR PDF free to use?
Yes — OCR PDF is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.

Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.
How do I use OCR PDF?
Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “OCR PDF”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
