Text recognition
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.
No file at hand? Open OCR Scanned PDF anyway →

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?
No. Everything happens in this browser tab — the file never leaves your device. You can keep the Network tab open while it runs: no request carries your file.
Do I need an account?
No. This tool is exactly the same signed in or out.
