PDF OCR
Turn a scanned PDF into a searchable document, in over 100 languages. Pages are rendered at 300 DPI, the language is detected from the script automatically, and the original page images are kept so the document still looks like the original. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

Each page is rendered at 300 DPI, the resolution Tesseract is trained for, then converted to greyscale with contrast normalised. Automatic script detection runs per scanned page, so a document can include different writing systems. A searchable text layer is written invisibly behind the original page image, so the document looks unchanged but is fully searchable.
Extract readable text from photos, screenshots and scanned images in over 100 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Russian and every major script. Rotated, skewed and low-resolution pictures are corrected and enlarged before they are read.
Detect and correct small page rotation angles in scanned PDFs to make document pages straighter and easier to read or OCR.
