OCR: make a scanned PDF searchable
Recognize the text in scanned documents and photos. You get a searchable PDF that looks exactly like the original, with an invisible text layer you can search, select and copy, or plain text.
Compression turns each page into an image, so text can no longer be selected or searched. Best for scans and photo-heavy files; text-only PDFs may get larger.
A single page downloads as an image; several pages download as one ZIP.
Uses AES-256 encryption. Keep the password safe: there is no way to recover it.
Removes print, copy and edit restrictions. If the file needs a password to open, you'll need to know it.

iPhones save photos as HEIC, which Windows and many websites can't open. Drop them here to get JPGs; the photos never leave your device.
No photos yet. Drop your iPhone .heic files above.
Recognition runs on your device and takes a few seconds per page. The language model (1–3 MB) downloads the first time.
Text finds words that were added, removed or changed. Appearance finds anything that looks different, including images, layout and scanned pages. Both files stay on your device.
Fonts, tables, images and charts are kept. Up to 50 MB per file; several files come back as one ZIP.
Works best with PDFs made from a document (not scans). Text, fonts, tables and images become editable in Word. Run OCR first on scanned PDFs.
Each page becomes a slide: the text is editable, and pictures and backgrounds stay exactly as they were.
