How it works
Upload a scanned PDF and choose its language. We run optical character recognition on every image-only page and embed an invisible, searchable text layer — pages that already have text are left untouched. Download the result immediately; both the original and the output are deleted from our servers automatically after one hour.
FAQ
- What does OCR actually do?
- It reads the text in your scanned pages and adds an invisible, searchable text layer on top — the pages still look the same, but you can now select and search the text.
- What if my PDF already has some text?
- Pages that already contain text are left as-is; OCR only runs on pages that are just images.
- Which languages are supported?
- English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese for now — pick the one matching your document for the best accuracy.
