Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to recognize the text?
No. Recognition runs in your browser with tesseract.js, the Tesseract OCR engine compiled to WebAssembly. The only downloads are the program itself and a language model, never your document.
Which languages can it recognize?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. Choose the document's language before processing; for Chinese, Japanese and Arabic, English is recognized too, so mixed words come out right.
Can I edit the text after OCR?
The PDF keeps its original appearance, with the recognized text as an invisible layer you can select, search and copy. To edit the text, run the result through PDF to Word, which extracts that layer into a .docx file.
Why are some words wrong?
OCR accuracy depends on the scan. Blurry, tilted or low-resolution pages, handwriting and decorative fonts produce more mistakes. For best results, scan at 300 dpi, keep the page straight and use good contrast.
How it works
From file to finished PDF in three steps
2
Processed on your device
Your browser does the actual work using WebAssembly and JavaScript (pdf-lib, pdf.js), the same technology behind offline apps. The file itself never leaves your computer.
3
Download the result
As soon as processing finishes, your browser triggers a normal file download. Nothing is stored on our end — there's no server copy to delete because one was never made.
Real Privacy: Your Files Never Leave Your Device
Unlike traditional online PDF tools, The PDFverse works entirely client-side using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your documents are never uploaded, stored, or accessed by third-party servers.
Zero Uploads
Not a single byte of your document is sent to any server.
Zero Latency
Instant processing without waiting in cloud queues.
100% Confidential
Ideal for legal contracts, financial sheets and private records.
