OCR alternative

OCR scanned PDFs locally without Acrobat.

Run English OCR in your browser, clean scanned pages and export a searchable PDF without sending the document through an app server.

Scan cleanup

Rotate pages, crop margins and remove blank scans before OCR.

Run browser-side English OCR to create a searchable PDF export.

Download the OCR result from the browser workspace without uploading the source PDF.

Slay PDF is a practical fit for everyday scanned documents that need rotation, cropping, cleanup and English OCR before sharing or archiving.

OCR quality depends on scan quality, language and browser resources. Inspect the exported PDF before relying on the searchable text.

Can Slay PDF OCR PDFs without Acrobat?

Yes. Slay PDF can run English OCR in the browser and export a searchable PDF.

Does OCR upload scanned PDFs?

No. OCR runs locally in the browser, so the source PDF is not uploaded to Slay PDF servers.
