Convert with OCR
Tap Convert. Pages without a text layer are detected and read with OCR on your device, page by page.

FAQ
Scanned PDF to Word: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really edit a scanned PDF in Word?
Yes. OCR (optical character recognition) turns the pictures of text into real characters, and the result is saved as an editable .docx file. You can then change, copy and search the text like any Word document.
How accurate is the OCR?
Clear, straight scans of printed text are read very well. Accuracy drops with blurry photos, handwriting, very small print or pages scanned at an angle, so always check important names and numbers.
Which languages can the OCR read?
English, Bengali (Bangla), Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French and Chinese (Simplified). Choose the language after adding your PDF; its OCR data is loaded from this site the first time you use it.
Will the Word file keep the layout of the scan?
The text and line breaks are kept, but OCR doesn't rebuild columns, tables or images. You get clean, editable text to format as you like.
Is it safe to convert confidential PDFs here?
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your web browser, so your PDF is never uploaded: 0 bytes leave your device. That makes it safe for contracts, CVs, payslips, bank statements and ID documents.
