PDF2Words is designed to convert scanned PDFs into searchable text while relying on Apple system OCR and on-device processing whenever the platform allows it.

What we process

The app works with PDFs that you import. It may also store app-local job history, file metadata, OCR text, and exported files on your device so you can reopen and manage past work.

What we do not do by default

• We do not design PDF2Words around sending your document content to third-party AI services for OCR.
• We do not require account creation to use the core local OCR workflow.
• We do not sell your document content.

Purchases and subscriptions

Subscription purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. PDF2Words uses StoreKit to determine whether Pro access is active. Payment data is managed by Apple, not by this website.

Links and external services

This website may link to Apple legal pages and GitHub-hosted support resources. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Data retention

OCR jobs and exported files remain on your device until you delete them. You can remove imported documents from the app’s document library at any time.
