-d '{"image": "@document.pdf"}'AI Document Scanner is an AI PDF tool that reads, edits, or transforms documents — extracting what you need or reshaping the file without desktop software. It runs free on Free.ai with no sign-up required to get started.
AI Document Scanner is built for anyone who works with PDFs daily and wants to skip the paid desktop suite. It covers editing, conversion, extraction, and other PDF operations — pick this tool when that’s what you need.
Give AI Document Scanner the source (a file, a link, or pasted content) and it pulls out the text or information you need, cleaned up and ready to use.
Yes. You get 2,500 free tokens per day with no account at all, or 30,000 tokens/day with a free account. AI Document Scanner draws from that daily pool; if you need more, token packs start at $1.
AI Document Scanner produces a structured, formatted document you can copy or export. Layout and headings are preserved so it is ready to share or print.
Spell out the details that matter — names, figures, dates, and the audience. A precise brief produces a document that needs little cleanup.
Yes. Documents you create with AI Document Scanner are yours to use commercially — send invoices, ship reports, publish freely.
No. Use AI Document Scanner immediately as a guest. A free account doubles your daily tokens to 30,000, saves your history, and unlocks larger inputs — but it is optional.
The information you enter into AI Document Scanner stays private — it is processed to build your document and is not used for training or retained beyond the share window.
AI Document Scanner runs on best-in-class open-source AI models on our own infrastructure — no third-party API keys, no per-call surcharge. We update the underlying models as better ones are released.
Yes. AI Document Scanner works in any modern mobile browser — the layout adapts to your screen, so you can use it on a phone or tablet with no app to install.
A lot. Beyond AI Document Scanner, Free.ai bundles editing, conversion, extraction, and other PDF operations alongside hundreds of other free AI tools — chat, images, audio, video, code, and more — all sharing the same daily token pool. Browse the categories to find your next one.
