Scanned PDF to editable Word
Turn a scanned PDF into an editable Word document
Use OCR to convert scanned PDF pages into an editable Word DOCX, with review guidance for complex layouts and an exact-appearance option.
For finance, legal, operations, administration and other professionals who need to reuse content from image-based documents.
How it works
Upload the scanned PDF
The converter detects pages without usable embedded text and applies OCR within the package's available-page allowance.
Choose the reconstruction
Use editable reconstruction for reuse, or exact appearance when visual fidelity matters more than editing.
Compare and correct
Review the source beside the Word preview, correct OCR text and approve the result before download.
Accuracy and compatibility
OCR accuracy depends on scan clarity, page rotation, language and typography.
Tables, forms, signatures and multi-column pages should be checked carefully.
Frequently asked questions
Is scanned PDF to Word available on Free?
Yes. Free can convert scanned PDFs within its monthly page allowance, with the package's standard review restrictions.
Will the Word file look exactly like the scan?
Editable reconstruction aims to preserve useful structure. For complex layouts, exact-appearance mode is recommended because it prioritises visual fidelity.
Are signatures editable?
Signatures and logos are normally retained as visual elements rather than converted into editable text.
