Jak używać

Upload a scanned PDF (up to 50 MB), select the document language or multiple languages for multilingual documents, and specify which pages to process — all pages or a custom range like 1,3,5-8. Choose Searchable PDF to embed a text layer or Plain Text to extract raw text. Click Start OCR to begin processing. Monitor page-by-page progress and confidence scores, then download the searchable PDF or copy the extracted text.
