01 / DUAL-MODE OUTPUT
Two Ways to Read a Scan.
Turn every scan into a searchable-only text layer — or fully editable text — with a single toggle. Searchable mode keeps the original image pixel-perfect with an invisible text layer you can find and copy; editable mode rebuilds real, in-place-editable text.

04 / BATCH OCR
Run a Whole Folder in One Go.

Process Folders →05 / TWO-LAYER PDF
Searchable Pictures. Copyable Words.
The image stays exactly as scanned while an invisible text layer rides underneath — so you can search, select, and copy every word across the whole book, and OCR results never change the look of your document.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition reads the text inside a scanned PDF or image and turns it into a real text layer you can search, copy, or edit.
Can OCR handle low-quality or handwritten scans?
Yes — ArkoPDF's engine is tuned for dense, low-quality, and mixed scans, holding ~99.3% accuracy even on challenging documents.
How many languages does ArkoPDF OCR support?
100+ languages out of the box — English, 中文, 日本語, Deutsch, Español, Français, and many more — recognized natively with no setup.
What is a two-layer (searchable) PDF?
A two-layer PDF keeps your scan as the image and adds an invisible text layer underneath, so every word is searchable and selectable while the page looks unchanged.
Can I edit the OCR results?
Yes — choose editable mode and the recognized text becomes real, in-place-editable text, or keep searchable-only mode for a pure two-layer PDF.
Does OCR run on-device?
Yes — recognition runs locally on your machine. Confidential scans and contracts are never uploaded.
