Everything MayaPDF does — and what\'s coming

A transparent look at our capabilities.

Available Now

These features are live and verified. Browser page tools and OCR remain local, while library uploads documents to our server.

Available · OCR: English + 14 Indian-language packs

Turn scanned pages into selectable, searchable text without the document ever leaving your browser. MayaPDF ships the recognition data for every supported language, self-hosted — no third-party OCR API is called.

  • Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Nepali, Sanskrit, Urdu — plus English
  • Runs fully client-side: scans are never uploaded for processing
  • Works on photos and scans, including "Scan to PDF" captures
Access Tool

Image and visual signing — PKCS#7 beta

Sign with an image or visual block. Cryptographic PKCS#7 signing is beta and server-gated. Multi-party E-sign workflows are safe-disabled.

  • Image: draw, type, or upload your signature
  • Visual block: name, date, reason — the classic office signature block
  • Cryptographic (PKCS#7): beta; server-gated; independent certificate/reader validation required
  • Generate self-signed certificates in-app (for internal use); private keys are stored encrypted
  • Multi-party E-sign: Coming Soon — Currently Disabled for Security Review
