One converter for both kinds of PDFs. PDFSnacker extracts real digital text when it exists and automatically switches to optical character recognition for scanned or photographed pages.
No need to know which type you have: Auto mode detects it page by page.
Open the PDF and download the .docx. The text of each page is placed in the document in reading order so you can edit it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs.
Yes. Pages that have no text layer are read with OCR, in the language you pick (English, French, Spanish, German or Arabic), and the recognised text goes into the Word file. For a document that is entirely a scan or a phone photo, the Scan to Word tool adds dictionary correction on top.
The text, paragraphs and reading order are kept. Complex layouts such as multi-column pages, tables and text boxes come out simplified, which is normal for any PDF to Word conversion.
No. The whole tool runs inside your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed there and never sent to a server, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.
Yes. Every tool on PDFSnacker is free to use, with no account, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
