- Turn off the flash to avoid glare.
- Fill the frame with the page.

AI text recognition
AI OCR reads printed text and neat handwriting from photos, scans and screenshots.
Editable Word paragraphs
Ordinary prose and letters reflow as you edit. Complex layouts keep their lines; fonts and pictures are not recreated.
RTL preserved
Arabic, Urdu, and Farsi text direction is maintained correctly in the output.

Most single images finish within seconds.
How do I convert an image to Word?
- Upload a photo, scan or screenshot above. The language is detected automatically.
- Wait a few seconds while FastOCR reads the text.
- Check the text on the results page, then download the Word (.docx) file or copy the text.
What does the Word file contain?
The Word file contains the text shown on the results page. Ordinary prose and letters join into paragraphs that reflow when you edit; tables, forms and other complex layouts keep their lines. Fonts, pictures and table grids are not recreated. If you only need the words, Image to Text gives you the same result as plain text.
Which images give the best result?
Sharp, evenly lit images with the text facing the camera. For a phone photo, hold the camera square to the page and avoid shadows. Crop out the background if you can. Blurry or heavily skewed photos are the most common cause of wrong characters.
Do you have a PDF instead?
Use PDF to Word for scanned or digital PDFs, or PDF to Text for plain text.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a JPG or image to Word?
Upload a JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP image. FastOCR extracts the text for you to review and download as an editable Word (.docx) file. Ordinary prose reflows into paragraphs; tables, forms and other complex layouts retain line breaks.
Will the Word file keep my original layout and formatting?
The Word file contains editable text. Ordinary prose and letters join into paragraphs that reflow as you edit. Tables, forms, verse and other complex layouts keep their lines. Fonts, pictures and table grids are not recreated. Text you edited, polished, translated or selected on the results page also keeps its lines.
Can I convert a photo of a table or a form?
FastOCR extracts the words, but the Word download does not recreate the table grid or form fields. These pages keep their line breaks, so expect to rebuild the table or form in Word.
Is JPG to Word conversion free?
Image OCR and Word downloads are free. Try a JPG, JPEG or PNG image without signing up, or sign in for unlimited free image OCR. PDF uploads require a free account and use a separate page allowance. See pricing for current limits.
Does it work with Arabic or Urdu images?
Yes. FastOCR supports 100+ languages including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, and Hebrew, and keeps right-to-left text in the right direction. Always read the result once, as cursive scripts and low-quality photos can contain mistakes.
Can I convert a handwritten page to Word?
Yes, neat handwriting can be read, but results depend heavily on the writing and the photo. Check the text before you rely on it.
What image formats and sizes can I upload?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP images. See the pricing page for current file size limits for each plan.
Can I convert a PDF to Word instead?
