Important limitations
English only · unlocked PDFs · up to 3 pages / 20 MB. This tool extracts editable text and page breaks; it does not reproduce tables, forms, columns or visual layouts.
OCR can misread characters. Review every result against the original before use, especially for legal, financial, medical, government or other high-stakes documents. The generated Word file is an editable working copy, not a certified record or replacement for the source PDF.
How to use Scanned PDF to Word
- Choose an unlocked scanned PDF up to 20 MB with up to three pages.
- OCR runs locally in your browser and shows the extracted text for review.
- Download the editable text as a Word document.
Will the Word document preserve the original layout?
This first version keeps editable text and page breaks, rather than trying to recreate complex page layouts. Clear, typed single-column scans work best; review names, numbers, tables and forms before using the result.
No sign-up is required. The calculation or transformation happens in this browser tab and the result is available immediately.

Can I convert a scanned PDF into an editable Word document?+
Yes. This tool reads the text in a scanned PDF with OCR and creates a DOCX file. The result is editable in Word, but it should be checked before relying on names, dates or numbers.
Will it preserve the original formatting?+
The first version preserves text and page breaks. It does not recreate complex tables, forms, columns or design layouts; these need cleanup in Word.
Which scans work best?+
Clear, upright English scans with typed, single-column text work best. Low-resolution photos, handwriting, skewed pages and dense tables can produce errors.
Is my scanned PDF uploaded?+
No. The PDF is rendered and read inside your browser tab. The OCR engine and file are not sent to a Metyris processing server.
Can I use the Word file as an official or certified record?+
No. OCR output is an editable working copy, not a certified conversion or replacement for the original PDF. Check every result against the original before using it for legal, financial, medical, government or other high-stakes purposes.
