Want to convert an image of text into an editable Google Doc?

The other day a friend shared with me the fact that you can convert an image of text into a Google Doc that could be edited (video here).

If you upload a PDF or JPEG that has text on it - you know that it is a picture and you can not edit it. However, there is a little trick that allows you to take that file and Google finds the text and creates it into an editable Google Doc.

Here is a quick way to do it.
Upload file > right click on file (or select three dots) > select Open with > select Google Docs

Embedded below is a GIF followed by a 58 second YouTube tutorial.





Enjoy!
