Who is it for?
PDF OCR is for anyone stuck with scans they cannot search or copy — students digitizing old textbooks, lawyers pulling a clause from a scanned contract, and accountants archiving paper invoices. Imagine you photographed a printed page and now need one paragraph from it: run OCR and you can select and copy that text straight into an email or Word instead of retyping it by hand.

What is PDF OCR?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) takes a scanned PDF — basically a stack of pictures of text — and turns it into actual searchable, copyable, editable text. If you have ever tried to Ctrl+F a scanned contract and gotten zero results, that is the problem OCR solves. The PDF "looks" like text to you but the computer sees an image. OCR teaches the computer to read.
We use proprietary OCR technology refined over years for the highest possible accuracy. 100+ languages including Turkish, English, German, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese — your scans become real searchable text.
Under the hood, OCR scans each page for the shapes of letters and numbers, matches them against trained character models, and writes the result back as a hidden text layer aligned to where the words appear in the image. Because the original page picture is kept untouched, the document looks exactly the same — you only notice the difference when you search, highlight, or copy. The cleaner the source, the better the result: sharp 300 DPI scans, straight pages, and good contrast produce near-perfect text, while skewed, blurry, or low-light captures introduce mistakes. Selecting the correct document language also helps the engine resolve lookalike characters and accented letters. Once finished, the searchable PDF works in any reader and is ready for archiving, indexing, or further editing.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the OCR?
Our OCR engine reaches 95-99% accuracy on clean modern scans (300 DPI, well-lit). Old, faded, or low-resolution scans drop to 80-90%. Re-scan or take a clearer photo for better results.
Will OCR work on handwriting?
Our OCR is trained on printed text. Cursive handwriting is largely unreadable. Block printing in pencil sometimes works — try it and see.
Can I OCR a PDF that already has text?
You can, but it is unnecessary — the text is already there. We only OCR pages where no text layer is detected.
How long does it take?
Roughly 1-2 seconds per page on a clean scan. A 100-page book takes about 2-3 minutes. Bigger images take longer.
Does OCR change how my PDF looks?
No. The original scanned page images are left exactly as they are. PDF7 only adds an invisible text layer behind the picture, so the file looks identical but becomes searchable and selectable. Fonts, stamps, signatures, and layout all stay in place.
Is there a file size or page limit?
You can process multi-page documents in one go; large scanned PDFs measured in tens of MB are handled fine. Very high-resolution image pages simply take a little longer to process. If a file is unusually large, splitting it into smaller PDFs first will speed things up.
