Image to Word OCR
OCR an image into a Word-compatible .doc of the extracted text — in your browser.
Image to Word OCR is a browser-based image tool on ImgToolsBase. OCR an image into a Word-compatible .doc of the extracted text — in your browser. To use it, upload or drop your image and view the result directly in your browser — no signup and nothing to install.
How this tool works
What it does
OCRs an image and saves the extracted text as a Word-compatible .doc (plain text, no layout).
Not a DOCX
The output is a Word-compatible HTML .doc, not a full DOCX with reconstructed columns, tables or fonts.
First run / language data
English and Hindi each load from /assets/tessdata on first use and are cached by your browser when allowed.
Privacy
The image is read on this page only; nothing is uploaded and the image is not modified.
Image to Word OCR in your browser
Image to Word OCR recognises the text in an image and saves it as a Word-compatible .doc you can open in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. The recognition uses the Tesseract OCR engine in your browser, and the result panel reports the language, mean confidence and word counts.
The .doc holds the extracted text only. It is a Word-compatible HTML document, not a full DOCX layout reconstruction, so the original columns, tables, images, fonts and page geometry from the picture are not preserved — you get clean, editable text.
Image to Word OCR is installed with English and Hindi, the same two languages as the text OCR tool, each reading its data file from /assets/tessdata on this site. The image is read only to recognise its text and is never uploaded; animated images are read as a single still frame.
How to use Image to Word OCR
- Upload an image of text into Image to Word OCR using the file picker or drag and drop.
- Choose the OCR language for the text in the image.
- Click Process to recognise the text and build a Word-compatible .doc.
- Open the downloaded .doc in Word or LibreOffice — it contains the extracted text, not the original layout.

Frequently asked questions
Does Image to Word OCR create a real DOCX file?
No. It produces a Word-compatible .doc — an HTML document that Word and LibreOffice open — containing the extracted plain text. It is not a full DOCX layout reconstruction.
Does Image to Word OCR keep the original layout?
No. The document contains extracted text only; the original columns, tables, images, fonts and page geometry from the picture are not preserved.
Which languages can Image to Word OCR read?
English and Hindi — the same two languages installed on the text OCR tool. Their Tesseract data files ship on this site under /assets/tessdata and run in your browser after a one-time load; more languages can be added later.
Will the .doc open in Microsoft Word?
Yes. The file uses a Word-compatible HTML format that opens in Word and LibreOffice; some browsers may warn because the content is HTML inside a .doc, which is expected.
Is my image uploaded to create the Word document?
No. The text is recognised in your browser and written into the .doc locally; the image is not uploaded or modified.
