How to use every Docsworker tool

Simple, clear step-by-step instructions for all features. Everything runs entirely in your web browser — your files never leave your device.

Extract searchable, editable text from any PDF document, whether generated digitally or scanned from paper.

  1. Drop your PDF file into the upload box, or click to browse from your device.
  2. For digital PDFs, selectable text is extracted instantly and displayed in the editable text area below.
  3. If your PDF is a scan (flat images with no digital text stream), click the Run OCR on this PDF button. Our client-side optical character recognition will transcribe each page.
  4. Review and refine the text, then click Copy text to paste into Word or Docs, or click Download .txt to save as a text file.

Draft professional, publication-quality A4 PDF documents directly in your browser with Word-style typography controls.

  3. Set paragraph alignment to Left, Center, Right, or Justified.
  4. Need an exact page count for an assignment or flyer? Use the Fit to __ page(s) field to automatically scale font sizes so the document fills your target page count perfectly.

    • Small (Recommended for WhatsApp/Email): Keeps the PDF under ~100-200 KB per page.
    • Balanced: Crisp, clear text for printing and reading (~250-400 KB per page).

  5. Choose Page Size (A4, Letter, or Fit to Image), then click Generate PDF.
