How OCR works

A scanned PDF is really just a picture of a page — you can't select, search, or copy its text. Gojli's OCR tool recognizes the text in scanned pages and adds an invisible, searchable text layer on top, entirely in your browser.

  1. 1

    Upload the scanned PDF

    Choose the PDF with scanned or image-based pages you want to make searchable.

  2. 2

    Let Gojli recognize the text

    Each page is analyzed locally in your browser to recognize its text and word positions — nothing is uploaded to a server.

  3. 3

    Download your searchable PDF

    Download the same PDF with an invisible text layer added, so you can now select, search, and copy its content.

Frequently asked questions

Does this change how the PDF looks?

No, the visible page is untouched — a searchable text layer is added underneath, invisibly.

How accurate is the recognized text?

It depends on scan quality — clean, high-resolution scans recognize much more accurately than blurry or skewed ones.

Which languages are supported?

English and Bengali are supported to start, with more planned.
