Frequently asked questions
Are my scanned documents uploaded for OCR?
No. The text recognition runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your files never leave your device.
How many pages can I OCR for free?
Free OCR works on documents up to 5 pages each. A Pro subscription ($5/mo) lifts the page limit so you can process longer documents.
Does OCR work offline?
Yes — once the page has loaded, recognition happens locally, so you can extract text with your internet disconnected.
Do I need an account?
No. Anonymous users get up to 5 operations per day, and a free account gives unlimited basic operations.
