How to OCR PDF
- Step 1: Upload a scanned PDF (image-based PDF with no selectable text)
- Step 2: Select the document language(s) for best recognition accuracy
- Step 3: Choose output: searchable PDF (keeps images + adds text layer) or text only
- Step 4: Click 'OCR PDF' to run optical character recognition in your browser
- Step 5: Download the searchable PDF or extracted text file
💡 Pro tip: OCR accuracy depends on scan quality. 300 DPI scans with good contrast yield the best results. Handwritten text recognition is limited.
