OCR PDF with AI

OCR Scanned Documents
to Recognize & Extract Text Accurately

Turn scanned PDFs and images—pages you can't select or search—into text you can find, copy, and edit inside the same file. Pick from three OCR modes (Editable PDF, Searchable PDF Only, or Text and Pictures Only), and UPDF keeps the original layout, resolution, and formatting intact.

• High-Quality Output

  Produce smaller, high-quality files with accurate, searchable text after OCR.

• Up to 99% Accuracy

  UPDF's advanced recognition delivers up to 99% text accuracy on clear scans.

• OCR in Parallel

  Keep translating and working on other PDFs while OCR runs in UPDF.

Do the Opposite—Flatten a PDF Into an Image-only File

Need the opposite of OCR? Open UPDF's Save menu and choose Image PDF to flatten a searchable, editable PDF into an image-only file. Every page becomes a picture, so the text can no longer be selected, copied, or edited—ideal for locking down a finalized document before you share it.

• Right From the Save Menu

  Open the Save dropdown and pick Image PDF—no separate tool needed to flatten the whole document.

• Text Becomes Uneditable & Uncopyable

  Once saved as an image PDF, the text turns into a flat image that others can't select, copy, or edit.

Mobile OCR on the Go:
Scan & Convert Anywhere

Free yourself from the desktop. UPDF Mobile OCR turns your phone or tablet into a scanner and converter—and gives you the same three OCR modes as desktop (Editable PDF, Searchable PDF Only, Text and Pictures Only). Full-featured OCR on iOS and Android, not a stripped-down capture tool.

• Live Capture & Instant Conversion

  Point your camera at text for a live preview, then capture, convert, and edit in one seamless flow.

• Keep Layout, Tables & Fonts

  Recognized text keeps the original formatting, tables, and fonts—documents come out ready to use.

• Ad-Free & Privacy‑First Processing

  No ads, no tracking—your documents stay private and distraction-free.
