OCR a scanned PDF

Upload a scanned PDF, PNG or JPEG of up to 3 pages and 4 MB. You get the same document back as a PDF/A with a text layer you can search and copy. No account needed.

OCRmyPDF and Tesseract run the OCR. Pages that already have text stay as they are. Your file is deleted as soon as the PDF is ready.

A run here counts like the API: 2 credits per page.

Automate this with the OCRmyPDF API: files up to 25 MB and 200 pages. A free account with an API key gets 10 free credits a day plus 100 a month.
