PDF tool
OCR PDF
Make a scanned PDF searchable. Adds an invisible text layer (preserves the original look) or extract plain text. Powered by Tesseract OCR.
OCR is best-effort. Accuracy depends on scan quality, language, and font. Handwriting and low-DPI scans may produce noisy text. The searchable PDF option keeps the original page visuals — only the text layer is added — so the result is always safe to use.
