Questions
Is OCR PDF free in PDFMoose?
Yes. It is free in PDFMoose, with no account, no watermark and no daily task limit.
Are my files uploaded when I run OCR on a scanned PDF?
No. The work happens entirely in your browser, so your file stays on your device and is never uploaded.
Is OCR always accurate?
No. Accuracy depends on scan quality, so straighten crooked pages with Deskew first and check important text afterwards.
