Questions people ask

How do I convert a scanned PDF to Word?

Drop the scan or a photo of the page, choose the language, and download the .docx. The recognised text is kept in reading order so you can edit it straight away.

How accurate is the recognised text?

Clean, well-lit scans in a normal font come out close to perfect. Faint prints, handwriting and skewed photos lose accuracy; a dictionary check for English, French and Spanish corrects the most common misreads.

Can I convert a photo of a document to Word?

Yes. A JPG or PNG of a page is treated like a scan.

Is the scan uploaded anywhere?

No. The recognition runs in your browser and the document never leaves your device.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool on PDFSnacker is free to use, with no account, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
