Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Nibadai does the work inside your own browser, so your files never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it keeps working.

Which languages work?

English and 20+ more, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati and Urdu. Choose two for documents that mix languages.

How do I get the best results?

Use a sharp, well-lit picture taken straight on, with the text the right way up. Rotate or crop it first if needed.

What is a searchable PDF?

Your scan looks exactly the same, but now you can search it, select text and copy it.

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
