How it works
Scanned pages get an invisible, selectable text layer aligned to the image. Born-digital pages are left untouched. The PDF looks identical but becomes searchable.
Heads up — OCR is heavy for a phone. It runs entirely on your device and can run out of memory on mobile browsers. A laptop or desktop is recommended.
