Upload the photo or scan, the OCR engine reads the text, and a downloadable .docx file is generated where paragraph breaks, headings, bullet lists and basic formatting are preserved. Open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages or LibreOffice and the text is fully editable — you can change wording, fonts and layout without retyping.
usageYes. Detected headings become Word heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2), bullet symbols become real bulleted list items, numbered points become numbered lists, and bold/italic emphasis is approximated where the source typography is clear. Tables get exported as Word tables so you can edit cells directly.
featuresYes. The output is a standards-compliant .docx that opens cleanly in Microsoft Word 2010+, Office 365, Google Docs (via upload-and-open), Apple Pages and LibreOffice Writer. No file-format conversion popups, no missing fonts, no broken layouts — paste into your existing workflow without friction.
technicalYes. Upload a multi-page PDF or stitched scan and each page becomes a section in the .docx with the original page breaks preserved. The OCR text layer is fully editable — you can mark up clauses, accept track changes, or use Find-and-Replace across the entire contract in seconds.
usageThe engine supports 60+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Pass multiple codes (eng+spa) for bilingual documents like immigration paperwork or international contracts.
featuresUploads are deleted within minutes, never used for model training, never shared. No watermark is added to the Word file. The tool is safe for HR letters, legal correspondence, medical records, school transcripts and any document where confidentiality is essential.
privacyYes. Drop a JPG (or PNG, screenshot or scan) and the OCR reads the text into a downloadable .docx that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice. The text is fully editable — change wording, fonts and layout without retyping a single line.
usageThe Engine dropdown controls which OCR model reads your image before it's written into the .docx. 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 Re-run conversion rather than re-uploading the file.
technicalOpen 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.
usageNo. Adjust the Engine or Language setting in the panel and click Re-run conversion; 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.
tipsSet 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 re-run each; different engines specialize in different scripts, so comparing outputs on your first page takes seconds and saves you from downloading an unusable .docx.
tipsThis tool's upload only accepts image files — PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, TIFF and BMP — it does not accept PDF, even though it can turn a photographed multi-page scan (one image per page) into a single .docx. 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.
usageIt regenerates automatically — changing the Engine dropdown or Language picker immediately reprocesses the uploaded image and rebuilds the .docx with the new setting. Re-run conversion exists mainly as a manual retry for a failed pass or a network hiccup, not as a required click after every settings change.
