Add your file
Add a scanned PDF, pick the document language, and download a searchable PDF (or plain text). Recognition runs entirely in your browser — the first run downloads the language data (a few MB), then everything happens offline.
Choose your options
Pick the settings you need — it's instant and private.
Download
A short ad, then your file is ready. Free, forever.
Your files never leave your browser
Unlike most online tools, veryfreePDF processes everything locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or read by anyone — your documents stay private.

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your documents never leave your device, which keeps them private.
