Read a JPG
Keep it as PDF

The characters printed on your JPG come back as text you can edit, written straight into a PDF file.

JPGJPG in

Photographs and camera scans of printed pages. Compression artefacts are smoothed out before the read.

PDFPDF out

Your page as it looked, with a transparent text layer sitting behind it. Looks unchanged, but now selects, copies and searches.

Three steps, start to file

Add your JPG

Drag it onto the panel or browse for it. Several files at a time is fine.

Set the language

Tell the reader which script it is looking at, and leave the output on PDF.

Take the PDF

The text comes back written into the format you asked for, ready to download.

Same source, other endings

The reading is identical — only the file it lands in changes.
