Make scans searchable

Free OCR PDF

Batch-recognize scans in one or several languages as searchable PDF, archival PDF/A, editable Word, or verified text. Your upload uses encrypted durable storage when available and a private same-origin processor otherwise. Temporary sources are deleted after each attempt; durable checked results remain recoverable in this browser for up to six hours.

No artificial page or file-size limits · resumable encrypted upload · automatic deletion

How it works

  1. Add one scan or a batch with no artificial page limit
  2. Combine languages and choose smart, redo, or force recognition
  3. Export searchable PDF, PDF/A, Word, text, or a PDF + text package

Short-lived by design

This tool uses open-source processors in a private temporary workspace that is deleted after each attempt. When durable storage is available, uploads are encrypted and resumable and checked results stay recoverable to this browser for up to six hours. If that storage is unavailable, the same-origin fallback returns the checked result directly. Failed or cancelled job files are removed immediately. Account storage is used only when you explicitly choose Save to Bookify.
