Extract Text from PDF & Images: 100% Private Online OCR
The Safest Way to Convert Scanned Documents to Editable Text
Most online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools require you to upload your sensitive files to a remote server. This creates a massive security risk for business contracts, medical records, and legal documents.
Pixedra is different. Our tool uses a Zero-Server Architecture. We leverage your device's local processing power to recognize characters. This means your PDF never leaves your computer. It is the only truly private PDF to Text converter designed for the modern web.
