How to OCR PDF

  1. Step 1: Upload a scanned PDF (image-based PDF with no selectable text)
  2. Step 2: Select the document language(s) for best recognition accuracy
  3. Step 3: Choose output: searchable PDF (keeps images + adds text layer) or text only
  4. Step 4: Click 'OCR PDF' to run optical character recognition in your browser
  5. 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.
