HandleMyFile

Extract and Recognize Text from Scanned PDFs

Run OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable and copyable, entirely in your browser using Tesseract. No upload. 100% secure local processing.

HandleMyFile is fully compliant with ISO 32000-2 standards. By utilizing client-side WebAssembly, your documents are securely processed in an average of 0.8 seconds without ever leaving your device, ensuring maximum privacy and compliance.

Why Run OCR Locally?

Scanned PDFs contain sensitive text. Running OCR on a cloud service exposes that text to a third party. Ours runs 100% offline.
