Make PDF Searchable
Add OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to your PDF to make it searchable and copyable
How Does Make PDF Searchable with OCR Work?
Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool converts scanned PDFs or images into searchable and copyable text. The process uses advanced AI technology to recognize characters in images, including full Hebrew language support and multiple other languages.
When you upload a scanned PDF, the system analyzes each page, recognizes the characters and words, and embeds the recognized text in the original PDF file. This way the visual appearance is preserved exactly as it was, but now you can search, copy, and highlight text.
The tool supports documents in Hebrew, English, and many other languages. It recognizes text in various formats, including printed handwriting and different fonts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR and how does it work?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that recognizes text within images or scanned PDFs. The system analyzes the visual patterns of characters and converts them into digital text that can be searched, edited, and copied.
Does the tool support Hebrew text?
Yes! Our tool includes full support for Hebrew text recognition, including vowel points (nikud) and cantillation marks (te'amim). This makes it perfect for religious documents, textbooks, legal documents, and more.
How long does the process take?
Processing time varies depending on file size and number of pages. A 10-page file typically takes 1-3 minutes. Larger documents may take longer.
How does the PDF change after OCR?
The visual appearance of the PDF remains exactly the same as the original. The only difference is a hidden text layer that is added, allowing searching, copying, and highlighting of text. You can only see this text layer when you try to select or copy text.
What happens to my files?
All files are encrypted during upload and processing. After one hour from upload, all files (both original and processed) are automatically deleted from our servers. We are committed to complete privacy.
Is there a file size limit?
The default limit is 100MB per file. This is sufficient for most documents, including dozens of high-quality pages. For larger files, we recommend splitting or compressing them first.
