Turn a scanned PDF into Word

A scan is a picture of a page, so a normal PDF to Word conversion can come out empty. This tool reads the letters on the picture and puts them in a Word file.

Choose English, Urdu, or both. Clear print works best. Handwriting and very small type may be missed. Up to 25 pages. The upload is deleted after the download.

How to convert

1. Open Scanned PDF to Word.
2. Choose English, Urdu, or both.
3. Upload the scanned or photographed PDF.
4. Download the Word document and check the wording.
