What is OCR?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that converts images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text. This is incredibly useful for turning scanned documents and images into editable and searchable files.

How It Works

Our OCR tool analyzes the image of each page in your document, identifies the characters, and converts them into digital text. This text is then embedded into a new PDF, making it fully searchable, or provided as a separate text file.

Common Use Cases

  • Digitizing Archives: Convert old paper documents and books into digital, searchable archives.
  • Data Entry Automation: Extract information from invoices, receipts, and forms to automate data entry.
  • Accessibility: Make scanned documents accessible to screen readers for visually impaired users.

Key Takeaways

  • OCR PDF is completely free and secure to use
  • No registration or software installation required
  • Works on all devices and browsers
  • Fast processing with high-quality results
