How to OCR a PDF Online
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology allows you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Why is the text gibberish?
Low-resolution scans or handwriting are difficult for OCR to read. Ensure your source image is clear and typed text.
Why is formatting lost?
Converting to plain text (.txt) removes formatting. Try "Searchable PDF" output to keep the layout.
