About OCR PDF
This application is proudly built and maintained by i5.ae.
The OCR PDF tool helps you unlock text trapped inside scanned documents and image-based PDFs. It renders each page, recognizes the text with Tesseract.js, and either embeds the text as an invisible searchable layer or exports it as plain text.
Arabic text is supported through an embedded Arabic font, so searchable PDFs display and select correctly. You can choose to process all pages or limit the range for faster results.
Processing is done entirely in your browser for privacy. Long documents may take some time, so the tool limits processing to 50 pages and defaults to 10 pages for the best balance of speed and quality.
