FAQ

Common questions

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Yes. OCR recognizes the text on each scanned page, and you can download the result as an editable Word (DOCX) file.
Does the Word file keep the original layout?
The DOCX file contains the recognized text with paragraphs and headings where they are detected. Columns, images, and exact page layout are not recreated, so check the text against the original before sharing it.
Which files can I upload?
PDF files and JPG, PNG, or WebP images, including phone photos and screenshots. Free uploads can be up to 95.0 MB per file; paid plans accept files up to 95.0 MB.
Can I edit the text before downloading?
Yes. The recognized text opens in an editor beside the original page, so you can correct it before exporting.
