Extract Text from Scanned Resume PDFs with OCR
Your files never leave your browser. All processing happens client-side via WebAssembly.
Have a paper resume that was scanned to PDF? The text isn't selectable — it's just an image. OCR converts it into real text you can edit, reformat, and paste into modern resume templates.
PDFJolt's OCR extracts job titles, company names, skills, dates, and education from scanned resumes. Copy the text into Word, Google Docs, or any resume builder.
Your resume contains personal contact information and career details. PDFJolt processes OCR in your browser — none of your data is sent to external text recognition servers.
