Frequently Asked Questions

How does local browser-native OCR work?

OlivePDF loads Tesseract.js (an optical character recognition engine) directly inside your web browser web workers. When you load a PDF, our engine extracts page images locally, runs character recognition inside your RAM, and gives you text without sending any data over the internet.

Are my scanned tax forms or legal documents safe?

Yes, 100%. OlivePDF is built specifically for confidential and HIPAA-regulated documents. Since the file conversion is executed entirely in your local browser memory, no external servers see or touch your files.

Can I extract text from multi-page scanned books?

Yes. OlivePDF supports scanning multi-page PDF documents page by page, rendering them locally to extract the text content sequentially.
