Server-local OCR and searchable PDF rebuild

02File lifetime

A temporary per-request workspace is cleaned when processing ends.

03Known limits

OCR can misread similar characters, numbers, and tables, especially on skewed or low-resolution scans. Do not treat the generated text layer as authoritative without review.

04Verify after download

Search the output for a known name, number, and date. Select and copy a line to confirm that the text layer is present.

Workspace

Upload your file to start

Ready

Sample files contain demonstration content only. They are included so you can test the workflow before using your own data.

INFINITY INTELLIGENCE

A copilot that understands this tool.

Ask what a setting means, whether this is the right tool, how to recover from an error, or what to do with the result next. Infinity receives safe context from this page — not the file contents automatically.

PRACTICAL CONTEXT

What this tool is good at — and where to be careful.

BEST FOR

When this tool makes sense

Making a scanned PDF searchable and copyable while keeping the page's scanned appearance as closely as practical.

HOW IT WORKS

What the engine actually does

OCR reads text from scanned pages and the tool rebuilds a PDF that retains the visual page while adding searchable text. Text-layer quality depends on scan clarity and language.

LIMITS

What it does not promise

OCR can misread similar characters, numbers, and tables, especially on skewed or low-resolution scans. Do not treat the generated text layer as authoritative without review.

CHECK

A 20-second quality check

Search the output for a known name, number, and date. Select and copy a line to confirm that the text layer is present.
