OCR Process

How Does It Work?

The OCR PDF converter processes scanned PDFs in 5 stages. Each stage runs in your browser — no file upload to external servers.

To convert a scanned PDF to Word, upload the file and click "Convert to Word." The PDF to Word OCR engine completes 5 processing steps:

  1. Page scanning — the OCR engine renders each PDF page as a high-resolution image (300 DPI)
  2. Text region detection — the engine identifies text blocks, table cells, headers, and paragraph boundaries
  3. Character recognition — Optical Character Recognition reads each character, handling multi-column layouts and skewed or rotated pages
  4. Font and style mapping — recognized text receives the closest matching font styles from the original document
  5. DOCX assembly — the engine rebuilds the document as an editable Word file, preserving bulleted list indentation, footnote numbering sequences, and image-to-text alignment
