Frequently Asked Questions

Both — you choose, and the choice is the first control on the page. The picture (the default) places your image itself on the page of a fresh .docx, scaled to fit with its proportions kept. The text (OCR) reads the words into editable paragraphs instead. Switching keeps the upload but clears an old result; processing runs again only when you choose Convert file.

usage

Leave the mode on The picture, drop the image and download the .docx — the picture is already placed on page one, sized to fit the page without touching the margins. This is the fastest route when you need a photo inside a report, a screenshot inside a work instruction, or a signed form attached to a letter, and you do not want to fight Word's image handling.

usage

Switch the mode to The text (OCR), upload the photo or scan, and text recognition reads it into a downloadable .docx where each recognized line is its own editable paragraph. Open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages or LibreOffice and rewrite it without retyping the whole page.

usage

No — plan for a clean re-style. The text mode outputs the recognized lines as ordinary paragraphs; it does not re-apply Word heading styles, list styles, tables or bold/italic runs from the source. You get the words, correctly ordered and fully editable, and you apply your own styles in Word. When the source is a table, use Image to Excel or Image to CSV instead — those rebuild real rows and columns.

features

Both modes output .docx files supported by Microsoft Word and commonly importable into Google Docs, Apple Pages and LibreOffice Writer. Different applications can change spacing or image placement, so review the document in the application where you will use it.

technical

Not here — this tool takes image files (JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, TIFF, BMP). For a PDF, use the PDF to Word tool, which is built for multi-page documents. If you only have page photos, run them here one at a time, or combine them first with Image to PDF and then use PDF to Word.

usage

The language picker covers 30+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Pick the language actually printed on the page — it decides which alphabet the recognizer expects, and a mismatch is the most common cause of garbled output. It applies to the text mode only; placing the picture needs no language at all.

features

Uploads are handled under our Security policy. A share link is public to anyone who has it and can remain available for up to 30 days. The Word output has no Pixoate watermark. Review your organization's requirements before processing confidential or regulated documents.

privacy

Yes. Drop a JPG (or PNG, screenshot or scan) and download a .docx that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice. Decide first what belongs in it: the picture itself (default) or the text read out of it.

usage

It decides what ends up in the .docx, because "image to Word" means two different jobs. The picture — the default — places your image itself on the page, scaled to fit, and runs no text recognition at all. The text (OCR) reads the words out of the image and writes them as editable paragraphs instead. The Engine and Language settings belong to the text mode and only appear when it is selected; switching mode clears the previous result so you never download a file built for the other job.

usage

The Engine dropdown controls which OCR model reads your image before it's written into the .docx, in the text mode. Default balances speed and accuracy for typical printed text, while Engine 1 and Engine 2 are alternate recognition engines that can pick up text the default misses on unusual fonts, low-contrast scans or dense layouts. If your first result has garbled words, switch engines and press Convert file again rather than re-uploading the image.

technical

Open the Language picker in the settings panel and search or select the language your document is actually written in — English is the default. Matching the OCR language to the real script (French, Chinese Simplified, Arabic, etc.) dramatically improves accuracy, since the recognizer applies language-specific character models. Pick a language the current engine doesn't support and the tool falls back to English automatically.

usage

No. Adjust the Engine or Language setting in the panel and click Convert file; it reprocesses the same uploaded image with the new settings and regenerates the Word document. This is faster than starting over and lets you try a few engine/language combinations to see which reads your specific scan most cleanly.

tips

Set the Language picker to the exact script first — Arabic, Chinese Simplified, Hindi or similar — since leaving it on English produces nonsense on non-Latin text. Then try Engine 1 or Engine 2 alongside Default and convert again with each; different engines specialize in different scripts, so comparing outputs on your first page takes seconds and saves you from downloading an unusable .docx.

tips

This tool's upload only accepts image files — PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, TIFF and BMP — and converts one image per run. If you already have a PDF you want converted to an editable Word document, use our separate PDF to Word converter, which is built to read PDF pages directly. For a stack of page photos, Premium batch mode converts them all in one go and returns a ZIP of .docx files.

usage

No — changing a setting clears the previous result and waits for you. Nothing is reprocessed, and nothing is charged against your daily allowance, until you press Convert file again. That is deliberate: an automatic re-run would spend an allowance every time you browsed the language list.

technical

Yes — build and download the .docx without creating an account, within the free allowance, in either mode. Premium removes the daily limit for heavy or bulk conversion.

pricing

No — JPEG and JPG are the same image format, just spelled differently, so a jpeg to word conversion works identically to jpg to word. Upload either extension (PNG screenshots work too) and pick what the document should hold: the picture itself, or the text read out of it. Sharp, well-lit images with upright text produce the most accurate .docx output in text mode.

technical

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

features

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

usage

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 11 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking scan or photo gets refused.

troubleshooting

Accuracy tracks the source image more than any setting. Shoot or scan straight on rather than at an angle, get even light with no shadow falling across the page, and fill the frame with the document. Set the language before you run it — OCR guessing the wrong alphabet is the usual cause of output that looks like nonsense. Always read the result before you rely on it.

troubleshooting

No. You can run Image to Word and download the free result without an account, and it carries no watermark. Premium is what you buy when the limits start to bite: up to 60 files in one batch, larger uploads, no daily cap, and the original-resolution result. Nothing is revealed at the download step that was not visible before you started.

pricing

No — Image to Word runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.
