Use this interactive demo to learn how to convert an image to editable text in Adobe Acrobat.

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to convert image to text in Adobe Acrobat.

‍

  1. Open Adobe Acrobat.
  2. On the top menu, click File, then click Open.
  3. Select the Image you want to convert to text, and click Open.

If you don’t see image files in the file picker, click the file type drop-down next to File name, then select All Files.

‍

  1. On the right side pane, click Edit PDF.
  2. Acrobat will automatically run OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to make the text selectable and editable.‍
  3. Edit or copy the text as needed, then click Close when you’re done.

📌 Why this matters

Converting images to text lets you edit content from scanned documents, photos of whiteboards, or screenshots instead of retyping everything manually. You can also make image-based content searchable and accessible to screen readers.

The real advantage comes when working with legacy documents or collaborating across different formats. Text extracted from images can be copied into emails, presentations, or databases, transforming static visual information into dynamic content that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows and documentation systems.
