Best sources
Clear scans, upright pages and high-contrast images produce better recognition. Blurry photos, handwriting and curved pages may need manual correction.
OCR
Extract text from scanned PDFs and images.
Run browser-side OCR on a PDF page, a full scanned PDF or an image file, then copy or download the extracted text.

Tool guide
Use OCR when the document is an image, not selectable text.
OCR helps with scanned PDFs, photos of paper documents and image files where the words cannot be selected or copied. vinniDocu renders the source in the browser, runs text recognition and lets you copy or download the result as plain text.
Language choice
Use English, Italian or English + Italian depending on the document. Matching the language improves accuracy and avoids confusing similar letters.
Private extraction
The OCR engine runs from site assets in the browser. Your selected PDF or image is not sent to a server for recognition.
Helpful notes
- Use Current page first to test accuracy before running OCR on a full PDF.
- Use All pages for short scanned PDFs after confirming the language setting.
- Review the extracted text before using it in official documents.
- For selectable PDFs, use PDF to documents instead of OCR.
- Read the full OCR workflow guide.
