OCR support helps the tool read text from image-based PDFs and scanned documents. This makes it useful when you need to extract text from PDF content that does not allow direct text selection.
Many scanned PDFs are saved as images, which means the text cannot be selected like a normal document. With OCR support, the tool can read visible text from scanned pages and turn it into editable output.

Bulk conversion helps when you have several PDF files to process at the same time. Instead of handling each document separately, you can save time by converting multiple files in one workflow.
After conversion, you can copy the extracted text or download it for later use. Plain text output is easy to edit, search, store, and reuse across different writing, research, and documentation tasks.
Use the tool from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile browser. It works online, so you do not need to install a separate PDF reader, OCR app, or conversion program.
