About Image to Word
HogPDF uses OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text in a photo or screenshot, lets you correct it, then builds an editable Word document (.docx). It all runs in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.
How to extract text from an image
- 1
Upload your image
Drop a JPG, PNG or WEBP image (up to 15 MB) onto the page or choose it from your device.
- 2
Choose the language
Pick the language the text is written in, from English and Swahili to Arabic, Hindi and more.
- 3
Extract the text
Click Extract text. The first run downloads the OCR engine and language data, so it can take a moment.
- 4
Review and correct
OCR isn't perfect, so fix any mistakes in the text box before you continue.
- 5
Build and download your Word file
Confirm the text and we'll build a .docx you can edit and reuse.

Private by design
Your image stays in your browser. Only the OCR engine and language data are downloaded, never your file.
Nothing to install
Open the page, drop in a file and go. There's nothing to download, and you don't need an account.
Good to know
- Accuracy depends on the image. Sharp, well-lit, straight-on photos of printed text work best.
- Handwriting isn't recognised reliably.
- The result is plain text in a Word file. Layout, tables and pictures from the image aren't recreated.
- The first run downloads the OCR engine and language data, which takes a little longer.
- For multi-page scanned PDFs, use Scanned Doc to Word.
- Images up to 15 MB are supported.
Image to Word FAQ
- How do I extract text from an image?
- Upload your image, choose its language, click Extract text, correct any mistakes and build your Word file. It all runs in your browser.
- Which languages are supported?
- English, Swahili, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Amharic and Somali.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. The text recognition runs in your browser. The only things downloaded are the OCR engine and the language data for the language you choose — never your file.
- How accurate is the text recognition?
- It's best on sharp, well-lit images of printed text. Blurry, skewed or low-contrast images produce more mistakes, which is why you can review and correct the text before exporting.
- Can it read handwriting?
- Not reliably. The OCR is designed for printed text.
- Will the Word file keep the layout of the image?
- No. You get the recognised text as plain text in a .docx. Layout, tables and pictures aren't recreated.
