Step 1 - Prepare the file
These tips will give you the best results:
Format: You can convert .JPEG, .PNG, .GIF, or PDF (multipage documents) files.
File size: The file should be 2 MB or less.
Resolution: Text should be at least 10 pixels high.
Orientation: Documents must be right-side up. If your image is facing the wrong way, rotate it before uploading it to Google Drive.
Languages: Google Drive will detect the language of the document.
Font and character set: For best results, use common fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman.
Image quality: Sharp images with even lighting and clear contrasts work best.
Step 2 - Convert an image file
On your computer, go to drive.google.com.
Right-click on the desired file.
Click Open with and then Google Docs.
The image file will be converted to a Google Doc, but some formatting might not transfer:
Bold, italics, font size, font type, and line breaks are most likely to be retained.
Lists, tables, columns, footnotes, and endnotes are likely not be detected.
