OCR PDF Online
Extract searchable text from scanned PDF files and make image-based documents easier to search, copy, and review.
Why use OCR on a PDF?
Some PDF files are made of scanned images rather than selectable text. OCR helps detect the written content inside those images and turns the file into a more searchable and usable document.
This is especially helpful for scanned reports, archived forms, printed contracts, receipts, notes, and old documents that need searchable text.
