OCR PDF

Turn a scan into a searchable, selectable PDF.

The page is kept exactly as it looks, and a hidden text layer is added underneath it.

Upload a scanned PDF to recognise its text
Text recognition runs in your browser on this server. The usual Tesseract engine is not installed here, so nothing is uploaded: Recognise in your browser is already selected and does the whole job on your own computer.
Required, because this server has no text recognition engine. Your document is never uploaded. Works in English only, and the first run downloads the engine (about 6 MB, cached afterwards).

Recognize text in scanned documents and make it searchable.
