Frequently Asked Questions
How to convert scanned PDF documents into searchable and selectable text online free?
Upload your scanned PDF or document image to PDF CHACHA's OCR PDF tool. Select your document language and click "Recognize Text" to embed an invisible, searchable text layer directly onto your PDF pages.
Does OCR preserve the original layout and image quality of scanned PDFs?
Yes! The Optical Character Recognition engine overlays searchable vector text directly over original scanned page images without degrading visual quality.
What document languages are supported by PDF CHACHA's OCR tool?
Our OCR engine supports English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and over 30+ international languages.
Is it safe to perform OCR on confidential scanned contracts and records?
100% safe. Optical character recognition runs in an isolated sandbox with 256-bit SSL encryption, and all scanned documents are deleted after processing.
