From boxes of paper to a searchable library.
Claim your free sample
Send a few pages — we convert them free so you judge the quality on your own material. Then a 20-minute call to walk through pricing and turnaround.
Send your archive
We set up a private, secure intake link. Send hundreds of files at once, as-is — scanned PDFs, handwritten lecture notes, lab notebooks — no splitting, renaming, or preparation on your end.
Receive your digital library
Days later: clean LaTeX source and compiled PDFs for every document, organized one-to-one with your originals. Your files are deleted from our systems after delivery.
What we do
A managed service, not another tool to learn.
01
Hundreds of files, thousands of pages — scanned papers, handwritten lecture notes, lab notebooks, technical reports — we take the whole collection in one batch.
02
Handwritten derivations and technical material are where standard OCR falls apart. Underleaf reproduces handwriting, mathematics, tabular data, and multi-column layouts as clean, editable LaTeX.
03
Each converted document is reviewed and compile-checked before delivery, so what you receive builds and renders correctly.
04
An organized archive of LaTeX source and compiled PDFs, mapped one-to-one to your originals — then removed from our systems.
05
Digitized documents become searchable and screen-reader accessible — supporting your WCAG compliance goals and making decades of material usable by every student and researcher.
