Built for PDF-to-EPUB conversion that depends on OCR

When OCR is part of the workflow, the important part is whether enough text and structure can be recovered to make the EPUB practical.

  1. Best for scan-heavy and mixed PDFs

    A good fit for scanned books, document archives, notes, and PDFs that mix image pages with text pages, where OCR quality affects the final reading experience.

  2. What OCR adds to the EPUB workflow

    OCR helps move the output closer to searchable, selectable, and reviewable content instead of leaving the EPUB as a container for page images.

  3. What users usually do next

    After exporting, many users still want to inspect OCR output, correct obvious recognition errors, and keep reading or organizing the content in a format better suited to long-form use.

  4. Keeps OCR central to the workflow

    It stays focused on OCR quality, EPUB export, and whether the recovered content is good enough to keep reading or organizing.

Desktop + iOS client

Start on desktop, then keep reading on your Apple devices

Download the desktop app when you need OCR for scanned or image-heavy PDFs, then review the converted EPUB before settling in to read. Your files stay local, and the same client flow works well if you want to continue on iPhone or iPad later.
