How to turn an image into Word
Image to Word reads photos and screenshots with OCR and writes one .docx that keeps the layout, the colours and the pictures, with text you can edit, in your browser. The images stay on your device. Free. No account needed.
- Add images
Drop one or more JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC pictures, or paste one with Ctrl+V. The order they appear is the order of the pages.
- Choose the language
Vietnamese + English by default. Pick another language under Text in the images when the words are not Vietnamese or English.
- Convert
Nothing to press: the pages are read as soon as you add them, and the progress shows beside each image. Change the language and they are read again.
- Download
Press Download to save one .docx: one page per image, in the order shown. Press Clear to start again.
Frequently asked questions
Not answered here? Ask Yangopen
Are my images uploaded?
No. Each image is read in your browser, on your own device. Only the first run downloads the open-source OCR engine and the language data you picked from jsDelivr; your image is not sent to it.
Can it read a photo of a page?
Yes, if the words are clear. A flat scan or a straight screenshot reads best. Handwriting, very small text, a tilted page and words on a busy photo are read less well. Check the result in Word.
What does the Word file look like?
One page per image, in the order shown. The Word file holds only the words read from the picture. The lines of a paragraph are joined, bullets and numbers become lists, and a table is made only where the picture shows one. The text is editable in Word or Google Docs; the photo's fonts are not kept.
Which languages can it read?
Vietnamese, English, Tibetan, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Hindi, Sanskrit, Russian, French, German and Spanish. Pick the language under Text in the images; the tool does not find it for you.
How many images can I add?
Up to 30 images at a time, each up to 30 MB, and one .docx comes out. A HEIC photo is read with the site's HEIC reader first, so it opens in Chrome, Edge and Firefox as well as Safari.
Is it free? Is there a limit?
It is free, with no account and no daily limit, because your own device does the work. OCR takes a few seconds an image, and the first run is slower while the engine downloads.
