Browser-based
Upload images, run OCR in your browser, and create a PDF with a hidden text layer over each page. Search and copy quality depends on scan clarity—proofread important content.
OCR positioning is approximate. This is not a substitute for professional document scanning software.
How to use this tool
1. Upload JPG or PNG scans (receipts, forms, notes). 2. Confirm page order in the queue. 3. Run OCR to build a hidden text layer. 4. Review a text preview for obvious OCR mistakes. 5. Download the searchable PDF.
Worked example
Example: five phone photos of receipts become one PDF where you can copy line items and totals in Preview or Adobe Reader—proofread amounts before filing.
How it works
Upload JPG or PNG images, run OCR in your browser, and build a PDF with a hidden text layer over each image so you can search and copy text in many readers. OCR accuracy depends on image quality—always proofread important content.
Limitations
OCR positioning is approximate. This is not a substitute for professional document scanning software.
