Best for text documents
Contracts, letters, notes, reports, forms, and archival scans usually belong in Google Docs once OCR is complete.
Document OCR
Scanned PDF to Google Docs
Use OCRToDocs to turn image-based PDFs into editable document text without leaving Google Workspace.
Designed for reading order
The workflow is built to preserve paragraphs, headings, and line flow instead of dumping raw text blobs.
Easy to review
Use Docs to check names, dates, clauses, and citations before sharing or editing the result further.
When to use this page
- Scanned agreements and contracts
- Forms, questionnaires, and approvals
- Meeting notes and research papers

When to use Sheets instead
If your file is mostly rows, columns, totals, or line items, move to the table-focused Sheets workflow instead of document text extraction.
