Built for OCR-driven PDF-to-EPUB conversion

The key question is whether OCR can recover enough text from the PDF to make the EPUB practical for reading, review, and search.

  1. Best for PDFs that need text recovery

    A good match for scanned books, archived documents, notes, and other PDFs where OCR is needed before the content becomes useful for reading or reference.

  2. OCR changes what the EPUB can do

    With text recognition in the workflow, the output can move closer to searchable and reviewable content instead of staying limited to static page images.

  3. Check the result before long-form reading

    After OCR and export, users often want to scan for obvious recognition issues, verify that the content reads cleanly enough, and then keep the EPUB for longer sessions.

  4. Focused on text recovery before reading

    It stays centered on OCR quality, EPUB export, and checking whether the recovered text is good enough to keep using.

Desktop + iOS client

Download the desktop app for OCR and EPUB export

The desktop app is the better place to run OCR on PDFs, inspect the recognized text, and export EPUB for reading. You can keep files local, review the result before you settle in, and continue later on iPhone or iPad when reading is the main task.
