Good to know

Why does a scanned PDF produce no text?+

A scanned page can contain only a picture of text. This tool extracts stored text objects; it detects empty results and explains when OCR is needed.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. Processing happens on this device. The tool may download its own code, but source files and output are not sent to a processing server.
