Choose an OCR language, run recognition, and monitor progress directly in the editor.

Download the searchable PDF or keep working in the same browser session after OCR finishes.

Common questions
Will this make the PDF fully editable like a native document?
Not necessarily. This workflow adds a searchable text layer and keeps OCR guidance explicit instead of overclaiming native-text edit fidelity.
Can I still keep working on the file after OCR?
Yes. Pdf Clarity keeps the file in the same editor workflow after OCR finishes, so you can export the searchable copy or continue with follow-up tasks.
