Extract Text from PDF with OCR – Works on Scanned Files Too

Ever received a PDF that looks like an image — and realized you can’t copy a single word from it?

That’s because it’s likely a scanned PDF, and regular text extractors don’t work on scanned images. But with OCR (Optical Character Recognition), you can convert printed or handwritten content from scanned PDFs into editable, searchable text.

With 24x7 PDF Converter’s OCR-based Text Extractor, you can extract text from any PDF — even if it’s a scan or photo — with just a few clicks.

🧠 What is OCR?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a smart technology that detects and converts characters from images or scanned documents into real text.

So instead of manually retyping content from a scanned contract, receipt, or book — OCR does the work for you.
