OCRmyPDF
Adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, making them searchable and selectable.
Tool Overview
OCRmyPDF rasterizes PDF files, runs optical character recognition using Tesseract OCR, and carefully overlays a searchable, invisible text layer precisely beneath the original scanned image. This preserves the visual integrity of historical books, research papers, and receipts while making them 100% searchable, copyable, and indexable.
