Not PDF to Word
For a scanned PDF, use OCR PDF first, then PDF to Word. Word to PDF is the other direction.
Files stay local
OCR runs in your browser. We do not upload the image.

Extract Word from Scan vs Image to Word
People search extract Word from Scan when they want the extract phrasing. This page runs the same /image-to-word extract as Scan to Word. It is not /extract-word-from-pdf and not a second tool in the Tools grid.
Use OCR PDF if the scan is already a PDF. Use Scan to Text if you only want a .txt file.
JPG and PNG only. Not PDF to Word. Not Word to PDF. We do not claim a layout-perfect reconstruction.
