About this tool

Scanned contracts, invoices and letters are just pictures inside a PDF, so you can't search or copy them. This tool reads each page with Arabic and English text recognition and adds an invisible text layer, so the file looks exactly the same but its words can be found with Ctrl+F, selected and copied.

How to use it

  1. Add your scanned PDF.
  2. Choose the document's language. Pages that already have text are skipped.
  3. Select Make searchable, then download the new PDF.

Questions and answers

Will my pages look different?

No. The original page images are kept untouched; only invisible text is added on top.

How accurate is it?

Clear printed Arabic and English usually read well. The result shows the average accuracy; blurry photos, handwriting and stamps are harder to read.

Why does it take a while?

Each page is read on your own device, which keeps your document private. A typical page takes a few seconds; the first run also downloads the recognition data once.

Are my files uploaded?

Everything happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
