What you can do
What OCR PDF does.
- English, Hindi (हिन्दी) and English + Hindi
- Searchable PDF: invisible text placed behind the page image
- Recognized text copied to the clipboard
- Runs in your browser — the page is never uploaded
In the apps: The Pyrbit PDF apps also export OCR results as Word, Markdown, CSV and JSON, and the Android app recognizes more scripts.
Private by design
Your PDF never leaves your device.
OCR PDF runs inside your browser tab. The file you choose is read from your device, processed there, and the result is saved back to your device — it is never uploaded to a Pyrbit server, so there is no copy to keep or delete.
Processed in your browser
The Pyrbit PDF engine runs on your computer or phone, not in the cloud.
No upload
Your document isn’t sent anywhere — not to us, and not to a third-party converter.
Sign-in is for your plan only
Your Google account keeps track of your free daily document and Pyrbit Pro. It never gives us your files.

FAQ
OCR PDF questions.
What does a searchable PDF mean?
The scan still looks the same, but the recognized words are added invisibly behind the image. You can then search, select and copy the text in any PDF reader.
How accurate is OCR?
Clear, straight, well-lit scans give the best results. Blurry photos, handwriting and very small print reduce accuracy.
Is my document sent to an OCR service?
No. Recognition runs inside your browser on your device; nothing is uploaded.
Is OCR PDF free?
On the web, sign in with a Google account and you can use OCR PDF — or any other tool — on one free document every 24 hours. Pyrbit Pro (₹79/month or ₹599/year) gives unlimited use with no ads. The Pyrbit PDF apps for iPhone, iPad and Android are free, supported by ads.
