THE TOOLKIT
Optimize and recognize PDFs
These tools solve different problems: compression targets file size, repair attempts structural recovery, and OCR adds searchable text. Start with the problem you need to solve rather than applying every operation.
Compress PDF
Reduce file size with a quality level that suits your document.
Repair PDF
Recover readable pages from damaged PDF structures and create a validated copy.
OCR PDF
Make scanned documents searchable while keeping their original appearance.
Plan your next step
Choose a tool above for its upload controls, formats and limitations. If the document is a scan, OCR can add recognized text before text extraction. Keep the original when changing pages or applying compression.
