Recognize PNG content and export DOCX with AlphaPDF Premium. Select languages and review the recognized result.

What to expect

Reconstruct recognized text in an editable Word document for corrections and rewriting. PNG preserves sharp edges without JPEG compression; crop unrelated borders before uploading and keep the full text in view.

Review spacing and columns in Word; OCR cannot guarantee the original page layout. Proofread names and numbers; handwriting is best-effort.

What it does

This tool reads the text in a PNG image and gives it back as an editable Word document. The recognised text is laid out as paragraphs and headings in a DOCX file, ready to correct and rewrite in Word or any editor that opens DOCX. PNG images are often screenshots or exports from a scanner. They keep sharp edges without the blur that JPEG compression adds, which helps recognition. Crop away borders and anything that is not part of the page.

When to use it

Pick this for screenshots of documents, exported page images or pictures of text someone sent you in a chat, when you need to edit the words as a normal Word file. It is often faster than asking the sender for the original document and waiting.

Before you start

Review spacing and columns in Word; OCR cannot guarantee the original page layout. Proofread names and numbers; handwriting is best-effort.

Take screenshots at normal zoom or larger. Text that looks small on screen is made of very few pixels, and that is where most mistakes come from. Recognition is never perfect. Names, amounts and dates deserve a careful check, and handwriting is read on a best-effort basis. Select every language on the page so the right characters are expected.

Processing limits

Up to 50 MB per input; 25 files and 500 MB per batch. PDF limit: 2000 pages. Up to 2 active jobs per account. Output limit: 1000 MB. Renderer limits can reject especially large pages or images.

Common questions

Can I upload several screenshots of one document?

Yes. Upload them together and each image is recognised. Put the files in page order before you upload so the results are easy to combine.

Can I upload a screenshot?

Yes. Screenshots of documents work well as long as the text is large enough to read comfortably on screen.

Will the layout match the page?

The text is rebuilt, not traced. Columns and spacing may differ, so check the layout before sharing.

Which languages can it read?

Choose the languages from the list before you start. Recognition works best when every language on the page is selected.
