About OCR PDF
Make scanned PDF pages searchable by adding a recognized text layer using OCR.
Quality and privacy
PDF conversions vary depending on fonts, scanning quality, source layout and available server engines. Appearance-preserving exports use page images rather than individually editable text. Uploaded and generated files are kept in private temporary server storage, not inside SQL database tables. Downloads are temporary; completed downloads are removed after delivery when supported, with a scheduled cleanup as a safeguard. See our Privacy Policy.
