A scanned PDF is really just a picture of a page - you can't select, copy, or search its text. Running OCR reads the text in the image and embeds it back into the PDF as a real, selectable text layer, with support for both Hindi and English documents, so the file stays a normal-looking PDF that's now searchable.
How to use this tool
- Upload the scanned PDF.
- OCR reads the text in Hindi and/or English automatically.
- Download the same PDF, now with selectable, searchable, copyable text.
Frequently asked questions
Does this change how the PDF looks?
No - the page images stay exactly as they were; a text layer is added underneath so the content becomes searchable and copyable without changing the visual appearance.
Does it handle mixed Hindi and English text on the same page?
Yes - both languages are supported in the same document.
