Need to Edit Text from a WebP Image?
You have a WebP image containing text-a screenshot, scanned document, or infographic-and you need to edit that content. Manually retyping everything is tedious and error-prone.
Converting WebP files to DOC extracts the text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and places it in an editable Word document. In our testing, this conversion accurately captures text from screenshots, scanned pages, and image-based documents within seconds.
How to Convert WebP to DOC
- Upload your WebP image - Drag and drop or select from your device
- Select DOC as output - Our OCR engine will process the image
- Download your Word document - Edit, copy, or share the extracted text
The entire process happens in your browser. No software installation, no account creation required.
What This Conversion Does
WebP to DOC conversion uses optical character recognition to analyze your image, identify text regions, and reproduce that text as editable content in a Microsoft Word document. The technology works by:
- Text detection - Identifying areas of the image that contain text
- Character recognition - Converting visual patterns into actual characters
- Layout preservation - Maintaining paragraph structure where possible
- Document formatting - Creating a properly structured DOC file
In our testing, OCR accuracy exceeds 95% for clearly printed text. Handwritten content, decorative fonts, and low-resolution images may produce less accurate results.
WebP vs DOC: Format Comparison
| Aspect | WebP | DOC |
|---|---|---|
| Content Type | Image (pixels) | Document (text + formatting) |
| Editability | Image editing only | Full text editing |
| Text Selection | Not possible | Copy, paste, modify |
| File Size | Compact (Google compression) | Varies by content |
| Searchability | Not searchable | Full-text search |
| Developed By | Google (2010) | Microsoft (1983) |
The fundamental difference: WebP stores visual data as pixels, while DOC stores actual text characters that can be edited, searched, and reformatted.
Common Use Cases
Screenshot Text Extraction
Captured a screenshot of an article, email, or webpage saved as WebP? Convert it to DOC to quote the text, respond to messages, or archive the content in editable format. This is especially useful for screenshots from Chrome, which saves images as WebP by default.
Scanned Document Digitization
Scanned documents or photos of printed pages can be converted from WebP to DOC, making the text searchable and editable. In our testing, this works particularly well for typed documents with clear contrast.
Infographic Data Extraction
Need the statistics, quotes, or data points from an infographic? Converting to DOC extracts the textual content so you can use those numbers in your own documents or presentations.
Social Media Content Repurposing
Downloaded WebP images from websites or social platforms that contain text you want to reuse? Extract that content into an editable Word document instead of retyping manually.
When to Choose Different Formats
DOC is ideal when you need editable text, but consider these alternatives:
- WebP to DOCX - Modern Word format with better compatibility and smaller files
- WebP to TXT - Plain text only, no formatting preserved
- WebP to PDF - Preserves image appearance while adding text layer
- WebP to JPG - If you just need a different image format, not text extraction
Choose DOC when you need Microsoft Word compatibility, especially for sharing with users running older versions of Word that may not fully support DOCX.
Tips for Better OCR Results
Not all images convert equally well. In our testing, these factors significantly impact OCR accuracy:
- Resolution matters - Higher resolution WebP images produce better text recognition. Images under 300 DPI may have lower accuracy
- Contrast is crucial - Dark text on light backgrounds converts most accurately. Low-contrast images struggle
- Font clarity - Standard fonts convert nearly perfectly. Decorative, stylized, or handwritten text is less reliable
- Image quality - Avoid blurry, skewed, or distorted images. Crop to include only the relevant text area
For best results, ensure your WebP image has clear, readable text before converting.
Browser-Based Processing
Our WebP to DOC converter works entirely in your browser:
- Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook

Batch Conversion
Have multiple WebP images to convert? Upload them all at once and convert your entire collection to DOC files in a single batch. This is especially useful when processing multiple screenshots or a series of scanned document pages.
