Production-Grade OCR

A Tool Built To Actually Solve Problems

Image-based PDFs don't serve any purpose. It's not possible to search them or copy text from them. They don't offer full digital functionality despite being digital. They pose a whole host of problems.

However, we fix such PDFs & solve all these problems.

Core Features

With our tool, you can convert image-based PDFs into searchable documents that can be further used for a variety of purposes. Our tool stands out as compared to alternatives because of features like:

High-Quality OCR

Superior OCR Processing

We use Tesseract's LSTM neural network to extract more text from image-based PDFs. Without boring you with the technical jargon, here's what it does.

456% More Text Extraction

As compared to the competition, our tool extracts up to 456% more text. That puts us miles ahead of the competition.

Creates an Invisible Text Layer

The file appears the same to the human eye, but our tool creates a text-based invisible layer that allows you to search for text within it and even copy-paste the text like a normal Word document.

More Functional PDFs

SearchAblePDF makes PDFs more functional and easier to use.

Supporting Multiple Languages In A Single PDF

Have a PDF that's half in English & half Spanish? Worry not! Our tool allows you to select the eng+spa option, and once you do that, the tool will convert both in the same PDF.

Auto Language Detection

Aren't aware of the language in the PDF? No worries! Our tool can detect the language for you.

Smart Preprocessing

Smarter Processing of Images

Dealing with a PDF filled with tilted images? Our tool can fix that for you and more. Upside-down images? No worries. Tilted Images? No worries. Improper scans? No worries.

We fix all of this and more automatically. Just upload the document and let us handle the rest.

Auto-Rotation

Our tool rotates the images correctly until they are properly oriented. That means those 90°, 180°, and 270° rotated images are corrected automatically.

Deskewing

No need to worry about crooked scans or improper corners, our tool takes care of that with proper alignment.

Background Cleaning

No need to worry about watermarks or noise, either. We remove that as well.

DPI Optimization

Our tool specializes in turning low-quality scans into more readable and enhanced images with intelligent upsampling.

Built with Practical, Every-Day Use in Mind

Our tool offers numerous features designed for real-world applications. These include:

Easy Page Selection

Don't want to convert the entire image-based PDF into a searchable one? No worries! You can simply mention the pages you need to convert and leave the rest to us. Using simple syntax, such as 1-10, 15, or 35-40, can help you convert only what's needed. Save time & money in the process as well.

Optimize Files

No need to deal with large PDFs. We compress using JBIG2 and pngquant to ensure a smaller file size while improving the quality. Need faster and quicker results? Skip PDF/A conversion and convert files quickly while reducing size.

Real-Time Monitoring

We update our users through the REST endpoint & Server-Sent Events to avoid keeping them in the dark during the conversion process. Don't want to deal with these technicalities? We also provide real-time monitoring through status updates, such as "Processing page 7 of 23...". That way, you know in a single glance how many pages are converted and how many are pending.

Large File Limits

No need to worry about file sizes. We allow uploads up to 50 MB. We have reviewed hundreds of image-based PDFs before selecting this ceiling to ensure that almost all PDF files can be uploaded. All this while, we ensure things remain secure to protect the files.

Automatic Deletion

You have no need to worry about the privacy of your data, as we automatically delete files within 24 hours with no user intervention required.

Security & Privacy

Files gone in 24 hours. No long-term data retention. Tokens expire automatically. We built this assuming you're processing sensitive documents, because you probably are.
