Is this scan to Word converter free?

You can open the converter and add files without paying first. OCR modes use credits — see pricing for plans.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to an editable Word document?

Yes. Scan to Word runs OCR on image-based PDFs and page photos so you get editable .docx text when the file has no selectable text.

Is scanned PDF to Word the same as scan to Word?

Yes — same workflow. Scan to Word covers scanned PDFs, paper photos, and locked exports that need OCR before you can edit.

Prefer a general PDF or image converter?

Use PDF to Word or JPG to Word for the format-focused tools.

Three ways to turn a PDF into Word

Pick a mode above the uploader — same converter, different Word output.

Insert pages

Rasterizes each PDF page and drops it into a .docx as a picture. Use when you only need the pages inside Word — no text extraction.

Plain text

Runs Simple OCR on each page, then builds an editable Word file from the plain text. Best for clear scans and printed PDFs.

Keep formatting

Uses Advanced OCR, then exports headings, lists, and tables into Word. Pick this when layout matters — contracts, handouts, reports.
