About OCR PDF to Word
A scanned PDF locks your content inside an image, so editing even a single word means retyping the whole thing. OCR PDF to Word breaks that lock by reading the scanned text and rebuilding it as an editable Word document you can change, format, and reuse.
Upload your scanned PDF and the tool runs OCR and converts the recognized text into a .docx file. It is free, runs in your browser, needs no account, and your file is processed only for the conversion and not stored. It is the fast way to get an old printed or scanned document back into an editable form, though complex layouts and tricky fonts may need a little cleanup once you open the result.

FAQ
Will the formatting match the original?
Simple layouts convert cleanly. Complex columns, tables, or unusual fonts may need some tidying in Word afterward.
Is the output really editable?
Yes. You get a standard .docx file with the recognized text as editable content, not just an image.
What if the scan is low quality?
Poor scans can cause recognition errors, so proofread the result against the original for accuracy.
