Hi @Krati_Gupta - welcome to the forum!

Currently PyMuPDF supports the Tesseract OCR, however I believe additional OCR engines will be available in the future (kind of like plugins).  
See: [https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pymupdf-layout/index.html#ocr-support](https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pymupdf-layout/index.html#ocr-support) & [Installation - PyMuPDF documentation](https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#installation-ocr) for more.
