Searchable PDF
Add a real text layer to a scan so you can select, copy and search it — with the page picture left exactly as it was, and every word it was unsure of marked. Runs in your browser: the scan is never uploaded.
Marks every word it was unsure of, instead of a clean-looking guess.

Questions
Is OCR Scanned PDF free?
Yes — free, with no watermark, no account and no daily cap. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to meter.
Does my file get uploaded?
