Questions people ask
Which languages can it read?
English, Hindi and Telugu, alone or mixed on the same page.
Is my document uploaded for OCR?
No. The text reader runs inside your browser. It is set up once per language and then works even offline.
How accurate is it?
Clear printed text is usually read very well. Handwriting, blurry photos and unusual fonts are harder; a straight, well-lit scan gives the best result.
Is OCR PDF really free?
Yes. Every PDFtoOne tool is free with no login, no daily limit and no watermark. The site is supported by ads.
Is there a file size limit?
We set no limit. Files are processed by your own device, so the only limit is its memory. Computers handle very large files; phones handle most everyday files easily.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once you have used a tool, it keeps working without internet. You can also install PDFtoOne as an app.
