Make a Scanned PDF Searchable — Free OCR, No Signup
Free OCR for scanned PDFs, no signup — OCR PDFs and every word on the page becomes searchable: OCR text recognition reads the words on a scanned page and puts them back into the file as real text. Before you run OCR on a PDF, a scanned page is just a picture — you can't select a word in it, and search finds nothing. After it runs, every word in the document can be selected, copied and searched, like any file you typed yourself. The page still looks exactly like the scan; only the hidden text layer underneath it changes.
