Searchable PDF (OCR)

Make a PDF searchable (OCR)

Upload a scanned (image-only) PDF and generate a copy where the text is selectable and searchable, without losing the original look. Text recognition runs in your browser using local AI (Tesseract.js). Note: the first time you use this tool it downloads a language model (about 10-15 MB) — that download doesn't contain or send your file, only the recognition model itself.
