About this tool
Pick a folder of scans and photos and turn every PDF and image into a searchable PDF plus a text file — with progress, retry, resume and a CSV report.
Each page goes through the Tesseract OCR engine in your browser (English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German); the recognised text is laid invisibly over the page image so the PDF becomes searchable. Finished files are remembered on this device, so a stopped run continues where it left off.
Example: a folder of 60 scanned receipts → 60 searchable PDFs, 60 text files and a report, all in one ZIP.
OCR accuracy depends on scan quality; check important numbers. Browsers cannot watch folders — automatic hot-folder processing is planned for the Desktop app.
Quick steps
- Choose your files — they stay on your device.
- Set the options and check the preview or the test results.
