How does PDF.to convert a JPEG image into a Word document?
+
We run OCR on your JPEG, recognize the text, and place it into a Word you can edit. Images from the JPEG are embedded alongside the recognized text where they appeared.
How accurate is the OCR for JPEG to Word?
+
On clean 300-DPI scans, English OCR is typically 98%+ accurate. Hand-written, low-resolution, or skewed JPEG images yield lower accuracy and may need manual review in the resulting Word.
Paragraphs, columns, tables, and basic headings are reconstructed in the Word. Highly designed layouts (magazine pages, infographics) may need touch-up after conversion.
Does the converter preserve tables from the JPEG?
+
Yes — detected tables are rebuilt as native Word tables with rows, columns, and cell content. Complex nested or borderless tables may flatten into plain text.
Will images and figures from the JPEG stay in the Word?
+
Yes. Photos, diagrams, and figures are extracted at their original resolution and placed in the resulting Word near the recognized text.
Can I batch-convert many JPEG images at once?
+
Yes — upload a folder of JPEG scans and you will receive a ZIP of Word files (or, optionally, a single concatenated Word).
What is the largest JPEG I can convert?
+
Free accounts have a size limit that varies by file type; PRO accounts allow much larger files and multi-page TIFF batches.
Is the JPEG to Word conversion free?
+
Yes, within the free size limit. PRO unlocks batch jobs, additional OCR languages, and higher-fidelity layout reconstruction.
Does PDF.to keep my JPEG image?
+
No. The JPEG upload and the resulting Word are both deleted within an hour. OCR runs in an isolated worker.
Will the Word be searchable?
+
Yes — the recognized text becomes a real text layer in the Word, so search-and-replace, copy-paste, and find-in-document all work.
Can I edit the Word in Word, Pages, or Google Docs after conversion?
+
Yes. The output is a standard Word compatible with every major editor; open it like any other Word and edit normally.
