What this tool does

Select 1 to 10 images (JPG, PNG, or WebP, max 5MB each) in the order you want pages. Click Create Searchable PDF and we run OCR on each image, then combine them into one PDF with an invisible text layer. You can search, select, and copy text in any PDF reader. We do not store your files on our servers after processing, and they are deleted immediately after processing. For a single image to PDF, use Image to PDF; to extract text from one image, use Image to Text (OCR); to merge existing PDFs, use PDF Merge.

Upload images in the order you want pages. OCR runs on each page so text is searchable in the PDF.

When to use this vs other tools

  • When you have several scanned pages or photos to combine into one PDF
  • When you need searchable text inside the PDF for accessibility or indexing
  • When you want one document from multiple images in a fixed order
  • When preparing handouts, receipts, or forms from photos for archiving
  • When you need a PDF that looks like your images but with selectable text

Common problems and fixes

OCR quality is poor

Use clear, high-contrast images. Avoid blurry or low-resolution scans.

Wrong page order

Page order follows the order you select files. Re-upload in the desired sequence.

Conversion fails or daily limit

Each image must be under 5MB. Sign in for higher daily limits; limits reset at midnight.

Real-world use case

Best for combining many scanned/photo pages into one searchable PDF document.

Practical tips

  • Upload pages in final order from the start.
  • Use consistent camera distance for cleaner results.

Manual vs tool

Manual assembling plus OCR is slower; this does batch OCR + merge in one step.

Edge cases

  • Mixed lighting between pages can create inconsistent OCR quality.
  • Large page sets produce bigger output files.

Limitations

OCR quality can vary page-by-page depending on image quality.
