Make a scanned PDF searchable
A scanned PDF is just images — you can't search or copy a word of it. Run OCR and VersoPDF adds a real text layer, so the whole document becomes searchable and selectable.
- Upload your scan — Drop the scanned PDF in; it's processed privately on our servers.
- Run OCR — We detect English or Russian text and add a searchable layer.
- Download the result — Get a PDF you can search and copy; the file auto-deletes within an hour.
- Search and select text that used to be a flat image.
- English and Russian recognized out of the box.
- Pages that already have text are skipped, so nothing is re-flattened.
- Works on any device, phone included — free to start, 2 files a day.
Which languages does OCR support?
English and Russian, including scans that mix the two.
Are my files kept?
No — your PDF is processed privately and auto-deleted within an hour.
What if some pages already have text?
Those pages are skipped, so existing text is preserved and only image pages get an OCR layer.
