Frequently asked questions
Is OCR PDF free to use?
Yes. Every PL Tools utility is completely free, with no signup and no watermarks. We're supported by non-intrusive ads.

Files are processed on a secure server and automatically deleted shortly after processing. We never keep a copy.
Do I need to install anything?
No. PL Tools runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or mobile — nothing to install.
