PDF2OCR turns scanned PDFs, photographed pages, images and screenshots into text you can edit, search, copy and save. Recognition runs entirely on your computer with Tesseract OCR: your documents are never uploaded, and the text is never translated or rewritten - you get exactly what is on the page. **Read whole documents at once** * Open PDFs, multi-page TIFFs and images, whole folders, or drag them in * All pages are recognized in parallel, with progress and a Stop button * Digital PDFs keep their exact text; OCR is only used where it is needed * Pick the languages of your document: 15 built in, 100+ more in one click **Clean results from imperfect sources** * Sideways, upside-down and slightly tilted pages are straightened automatically * Photographed pages are flattened: the page corners are found for you * Optional cleanup for faded scans, coloured paper, specks and small screenshots * Words that may be misread are flagged in the text and on the page **Get just what you need** * Select an area of a page to read only that part * Copy a table and paste it straight into LibreOffice Calc or Excel as cells * Page image and text are linked word by word for quick proofreading * Find & replace across all pages **From anywhere** * Paste a screenshot, or capture an area of the screen * Quick capture: press a keyboard shortcut anywhere and the text of the selected area lands on your clipboard (pdf2go --capture) * Scan directly from USB and network scanners, including document feeders **Save it your way** * Searchable PDF, Word, LibreOffice, Markdown, plain text, Excel and CSV * Your work is saved automatically and comes back after a restart or crash * Batch conversion from the terminal: pdf2go --to pdf ~/Scans USB scanners need a one-time permission: `sudo snap connect pdf2go:raw-usb` *KEYWORDS:* *smallpdf, ilovepdf, freepdfconverter, toolpdf24, adobepdf, jpg2pdf, jpgtopdf, imagetopdf, image2pdf, sejda, pdfonline, sodapdf, pdf2go, itextpdf, image converter, convert jpg to pdf, pspdfkit, pdftools, avepdf, foxit, wondershare, pdfresizer, img2go, img2pdf, online2pdf, bigpdf, pdfelement, nitro, jpg2pdf linux, pdf2go* --- ### Package name * pdf2go --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 14 October 2026 - latest/stable * 16 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [warlordsoftwares.com](https://warlordsoftwares.com/ "https://warlordsoftwares.com/") --- ### Contact * [contact@warlordsoftwares.com](mailto:contact@warlordsoftwares.com "mailto:contact@warlordsoftwares.com") --- ### Donations * [www.paypal.com](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rishabh3354/5 "https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rishabh3354/5") * [www.buymeacoffee.com](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rishabh33 "https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rishabh33") --- ### Source code * [github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR](https://github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR "https://github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR/issues](https://github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR/issues "https://github.com/rishabh3354/PDF2OCR/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/pdf2go/debian#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Debian and install Image to Text OCR Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
