Photos to PDF with Text Recognition

Text recognition (OCR) reads the words in your photos and embeds them as searchable text in the resulting PDF. Unlike a simple photo-to-PDF converter that just places images in a document, this tool creates a "smart" PDF where the text is real — selectable, copyable, and findable with Ctrl+F.

This matters for practical workflows: submit a searchable PDF to a filing system instead of an opaque image file, send a contract scan that a colleague can copy clauses from, or archive receipts that an accountant can search by vendor name or amount.

The recognition engine (Tesseract.js) runs in your browser with no internet connection required after the initial model download. Supported languages include English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, and German.

Drop your photos, select the language, click Convert. The searchable PDF downloads immediately.
