OCR PDF — Make Scans Searchable
Upload a scanned PDF or image and choose the language, and the recognized text is embedded into a PDF you can search and copy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still read the original scan after OCR?
Yes. The page image stays exactly as it was, with an invisible searchable text layer added on top.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no ads and no artificial limits.
Are my files kept or shared?
No. Processing happens on our servers, then the file is deleted immediately and an automatic cleanup removes any residue. Nothing is stored or sold.
