Turn scanned pages into searchable text

A scanned PDF is just pictures of pages, so you can’t search it or copy from it. OCR PDF recognizes the words on each page and adds an invisible text layer on top, keeping the original look. It reads English and Bangla, skips pages that already have real text, and runs entirely in your browser.

  • Your files stay on your device

    OCR PDF runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded — not the file, not even its name.

  • Free, with no sign-up

    No account, no watermark on your files and no daily limit for normal use.

  • Files up to 100 MB

    Large or scanned files are fine — they simply take a little longer.

  • Works on every device

    Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, in any modern browser. Nothing to install.
