About OCR PDF
OCR PDF helps with scanned documents that look like images and do not contain selectable text. It analyzes page images, recognizes text, and creates an output designed to be more searchable and usable. OCR runs locally in your browser.
About Settings
Pages to OCR controls which pages are processed. OCR works best on clear scans with readable text, good contrast, and upright pages. Very blurry images, handwriting, complex layouts, or unusual fonts may reduce accuracy.
