Extract text from images — free

The converter rebuilds the document's logical structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, real <table> elements, links and images — rather than just pinning each character at an X/Y coordinate the way some PDF viewers do. The result reflows on mobile, indexes well for SEO, and is screen-reader accessible out of the box.

Yes. Tables become standard <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, <th> and <td> elements with proper scope attributes on header cells. That makes them screen-reader friendly, searchable, and easy to style with Bootstrap, Tailwind, or your existing CSS framework — no extra markup transformation needed.

Yes. Paste into WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Notion (as embed), Confluence, GitBook or your custom static site — the markup is dependency-free, validates against the W3C HTML5 spec and renders identically across Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Images are inlined as base64 or extracted as separate files depending on your preference.

Yes. Image-only PDFs trigger the OCR engine, which extracts text and rebuilds the layout before generating HTML. That means even old scanned whitepapers, photographed reports and faxed-back documents can be republished as modern responsive web pages with proper headings, paragraphs and links.

Yes. Embedded images are extracted, optimized (WebP or PNG depending on content), and referenced via <img> tags with width and height attributes set for CLS-friendly loading. Vector charts may flatten to a raster — for full vector fidelity, use PDF to Images and embed the SVG renditions manually.

Uploads are deleted within minutes, never used to train models, never shared. The HTML output has no watermark, no attribution comment, no tracking pixel. Agencies and in-house teams use the tool to migrate legacy PDFs into modern CMS sites without any licensing or privacy concerns.

Open the Engine control group next to the preview, pick Default, Engine 1 or Engine 2, then choose the document's language from the searchable Language picker below it — over 100 languages are supported, including non-Latin scripts. After changing either setting, click Re-run extraction to regenerate the HTML with the new OCR pass.

Start with Default for common Latin-script languages — it's the fastest and most accurate for everyday documents. For less common scripts (Arabic, Hindi, Chinese) or when Default garbles headings and tables, switch to Engine 1 or Engine 2, set the matching Language, then Re-run extraction — different engines specialise in different scripts, so trying both takes seconds and often fixes misread accented characters.

Yes — the output panel shows an editable code box next to a live rendered preview, so typing a fix (removing a stray tag, adjusting a heading level, tweaking inline text) updates the preview pane immediately. Make all your corrections there before hitting download or copy, since both actions use whatever is currently in the code box, not the original OCR output.

Click Copy HTML above the output panel — it copies exactly what's in the editable code box, including any manual edits you've made, to your clipboard and briefly shows 'Copied!' to confirm. This is the quickest route when you're pasting straight into a CMS's HTML or embed block rather than uploading a file.

You can convert a PDF to HTML without creating an account. Signed-in free accounts get a daily allowance of conversions and see a small usage meter once they're near it, since scanned PDF pages route through OCR — Premium accounts don't see any cap.

No — there is no setting for this in the tool; how images are embedded in the output HTML is decided automatically and can't be switched in the UI, regardless of what some site copy suggests. If you need standalone image files for a CMS media library, export the pages separately with PDF to Images instead, which outputs PNG or JPG — not SVG — at your choice of 150, 200 or 300 DPI.
