Scanned PDF to Word
Turn a scanned, image-only PDF into an editable Word document. Because a scan has no text layer, free OCR recognizes the words first — then you get an editable DOCX. OCR is free for everyone, guests included.

Why scans need OCR first
A scanned PDF is a photo of a page. Converting it straight to Word would just embed an image. OCR reads the picture and produces real, editable text, which then becomes your DOCX.
Free OCR, honest limits
OCR is free for everyone including guests, within per-plan limits. Pick the document language (including Hindi and other major languages) for the most accurate recognition.

OCR is very good but not perfect on faint or handwritten scans, so proofread the Word file. Your files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
