How can I automatically make scanned documents readable, searchable, and editable? (BETA)

Use Lumin's built-in OCR tool on your scanned documents to make them readable, searchable, and editable.

NOTE: The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool is only available for users on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans



  1. Upload a scanned document. 
  2. A banner should appear if the editor recognizes the file is a scanned document
  3. Click Perform OCR to make the document or image readable, searchable, and editable.
    1. If the banner doesn't appear, head to the Page Tools category.
    2. Click OCR from the ribbon toolbar to perform the OCR.
  4. Then, once it's finished, a banner to confirm the action is complete will appear in the top-right corner.

This functionality is currently in its BETA phase, if you have any feedback, please kindly reach out to our support team here.
