OCR Spanish PDFs: Add a Searchable Text Layer at 300 DPI

Make scanned Spanish invoices and forms searchable. Use the spa pack at 300 DPI for best accuracy. Free, no watermark, up to 50 MB.

    Runs the same engine as our OCR PDF tool.

    Scanned Spanish invoices and forms are just images until you run OCR. With GekiPDF's ocr-pdf tool, Tesseract adds a searchable text layer so you can find any number or name in seconds. For Spanish documents, select the spa language pack and scan at 300 DPI — that's the sweet spot for accuracy on printed text.

    Upload a file up to 50 MB, and GekiPDF processes it without signup or watermark. The OCR engine works best with clean scans; blurry or low-contrast pages will reduce recognition quality. Files are deleted after one hour, and you get 40 conversions per hour per IP — enough to handle a batch of receipts.

    Frequently asked questions

    What DPI should I use for Spanish OCR?

    Use 200-300 DPI input for best accuracy. At 300 DPI, small print on invoices is readable by Tesseract. Lower than 150 DPI may miss characters.

    Does GekiPDF support accents and ñ in Spanish?

    Yes, the spa language pack includes accented characters like á, é, í, ó, ú and ñ. It recognizes them correctly when the scan is sharp and at 300 DPI.

    How long does the OCR take?

    Processing time depends on file size and page count. A typical 10-page invoice at 300 DPI takes under a minute. You can do up to 40 conversions per hour.
