About this tool
Scanned contracts, receipts and old reports are just pictures of text. OCR (optical character recognition) reads those pictures and adds an invisible text layer, so the PDF looks the same but you can search and copy from it. You can also export the recognized text as a plain file. Convert Magician runs the Tesseract OCR engine inside your browser, so even confidential scans never leave your device.

Questions
Which languages are supported?
English, French and Arabic. You can select several at once for mixed documents.
How accurate is it?
Clean, straight scans at normal resolution give very good results. Blurry photos, handwriting and unusual fonts reduce accuracy.
Is Convert Magician really free?
Yes. All tools are free to use without an account. The site is funded by advertising, which is why you may see ads around the tools.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens in your browser. The only thing downloaded from our server is the tool itself; your document is never sent anywhere.
