About JPG to Word

Have a photo of a letter, a handout or a page from a book that you need to edit? This converter reads the text in the photo and puts it into a Word document (.docx) you can change in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice.

Please note: the Word file contains the text only. Pictures, tables, columns and the original layout are not recreated, and paragraphs follow the blank lines the reader finds. The text is recognised on your device, so the photo is never uploaded.

Choose the language of the text first: English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish. The right choice makes a big difference for accents and special letters. Each language downloads once and then also works offline.

For the best result, photograph the page straight on, in good light and without shadows, and fill the frame with the text. Printed text works far better than handwriting. Read the Word document through once afterwards, because a few letters may be misread, especially in small print and in numbers.

Questions and answers

Yes: English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish. Choose the language of the text before you convert.
