What is OCR and a Searchable PDF?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads text from images and embeds it as an invisible text layer in the PDF. This makes the document searchable — press Ctrl+F to find text, or copy-paste directly from the PDF. WebConverter uses Tesseract.js, the leading open-source OCR engine, running entirely in your browser. Your images are never sent to any server. The OCR engine (~10 MB) is downloaded on demand when you first enable the option.
Features
Near-Zero CO₂
Server-based converters upload your file, process it remotely, and send it back — consuming network and data-centre energy on every request. WebConverter runs entirely on your device, so the only energy used is your local CPU. No data transfer, no server electricity.
Install for Offline Use
WebConverter works offline as a Progressive Web App. Click "Add to Home Screen" on mobile or the install button in your browser's address bar. Once installed, you can convert files without any internet connection.
