Private OCR Studio

About Private OCR Studio

Scanned documents are just images — you cannot search them, copy text from them, or edit them. Most OCR tools fix this by uploading your files to the cloud, which is slow, often paywalled, and a privacy risk for contracts, invoices, IDs, and medical or legal paperwork. Private OCR Studio does the recognition locally, so sensitive documents stay private while you still get clean, searchable, editable output. Drop in PDFs or images (or a whole folder), pick your output, and run OCR on your device — searchable PDFs that keep the original page look while adding a selectable text layer, plus text, Word, and CSV exports. Powered on-device by RapidOCR (PaddleOCR PP-OCR ONNX models) with PyMuPDF for rendering and the searchable-PDF text layer. CPU-only, no GPU required. Windows 10/11 (x64). Made for small businesses, accountants, lawyers, researchers, students, and anyone who digitizes paperwork and cares about privacy.
