Hey Product Hunt!
I built SearchablePDF because I kept running into the same frustrating problem — scanned documents, old PDFs, and image-based files that were completely unsearchable. Every time I needed to find something, I'd end up scrolling through pages manually.
SearchablePDF.org uses OCR to convert any scanned or image-based PDF into a fully searchable, selectable document. Upload your file, and within seconds, you get a clean PDF where you can actually find what you're looking for.
A few things that make it different:
Works with scanned docs, photos of documents, and image-heavy PDFs
Preserves the original layout while adding a searchable text layer
No software to install — everything happens in your browser
Privacy-focused: files are processed and not stored permanently
I'm a solo developer from India, and this is my first proper SaaS launch. Built the whole thing in about 25 days using FastAPI and Next.js.
Would love to hear your feedback — what features would make this more useful for your workflow?
