How to convert an image to an editable document

Frequently asked questions

Is the OCR conversion really free with no upload limit?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js, so there is no server and no per-file or per-day upload limit. Convert as many images as you like, for free.

Are my documents private and secure?

Completely. Your images and scanned PDFs never leave your device. All OCR text extraction and document generation happens locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to any server.

Will the downloaded Word or Excel file be editable?

Yes. The exported .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and .txt files are fully editable. You can open them in Microsoft Office, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or any compatible editor and change the text freely.

Can I extract a table from an image into Excel?

Yes. Choose the Excel (.xlsx) output and the recognised text is placed into spreadsheet rows and columns so you can clean up tabular data from a scan or photo.

What file types can I convert to text?

You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG and scanned PDF files. The tool reads the characters in the image and lets you export to Word, Excel, PowerPoint or plain text.

Is there a maximum image size?

There is no hard server limit because processing is local. Very large or low-quality scans simply take a little longer to process, depending on your device.
