OCR PDF — free, private, in your browser

Questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. CommandEditor runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly — your file never leaves your device. You can verify it: open your browser's network inspector, or switch off Wi-Fi after the page loads; the tool still works.

Which OCR engine is used?

Tesseract.js running locally in your browser via WebAssembly. No page images are sent anywhere.
