Can You Change a JPG to a Word Document?

It's possible to convert a JPG photo file into an editable Word document by using OCR (Optical Image Recognition) software. There are a number of file conversion and OCR applications available to handle this process.

  1. Considerations

    • The quality of the JPG image, as well as the contrast between the color of the font and the background color of the page, will affect how wells it translates into a Word document.

    Types

    • A JPG can be OCRed using a web-based OCR service, where you upload the JPG and download a DOC, or a software program you install on your computer, where you select the location of the JPG and then save it as a DOC file.

    Web-Based OCR

    • A website like Free OCR (see Resources for a link) will automatically identify words in your JPG image and change them into a Microsoft Word DOC file.

    Free Software

    • IrfanView is a free software for Windows (see Resources for a download link) that can open JPGs and save them in a variety of editable document formats.

    Print and Scan

    • Alternatively, you can print the JPG and scan it as a text document straight into Microsoft Word.
