Why OCR changes scanned PDFs
Scanned PDFs often look fine but behave like image files, which means the text cannot be searched or selected. This tool adds recognition so the document becomes more useful afterward.
It is especially helpful for old scans, photographed pages, and archived files that need to be searchable.
How to OCR a scanned PDF
- Upload the scanned PDF files you want to process.
- Start OCR and let the pages be analyzed.
- Wait for the searchable PDF output to be created.
- Download the new PDFs when the job is done.
