Free Online OCR & Document Conversion Tools

Scanquil is a free document toolkit that runs entirely in your browser -- OCR, scanning, search, and PDF/Word/Excel/image conversion, editing, signing, and citations, all on-device. AI tools add free summaries and flashcards, plus better reading for harder scans, receipts, and forms -- some free, some pay-per-use.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scanquil free?

Every core tool is free with no account required -- OCR, PDF/Word/Excel/image conversion, editing, signing, highlighting, and citations. AI tools add free summaries and flashcards, plus better reading for harder cases like messy scans, receipts, and forms (pay-per-use via UPI, priced at actual cost plus a small margin, with the price always shown before you pay).

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

Not for any of the core tools -- every conversion runs in your browser, on your own device, and your file is never sent to a server. The only exception is if you deliberately choose an AI-powered tool, which sends just that one image or page to a cloud AI service for that single request.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes -- it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, with no app to install.

What can I do with Scanquil?

Scan and search documents with on-device OCR; convert between PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, and WebP; and sign, highlight, redact, or edit a PDF -- all free, all on-device. A citation generator (APA/MLA/Chicago) is also free. AI tools add free summaries and flashcards from any PDF, plus better reading for harder cases like messy scans, receipts, and forms, priced pay-per-use.
