Use Nutrient DWS Processor API to convert PNG images into editable Word (DOCX) documents. Start free with 50 monthly credits and watermarked output. Enable pay-as-you-go or choose a paid plan for watermark-free output.
Convert PNG images into DOCX documents for editing, extraction, and collaboration workflows.
Use REST, Postman, curl, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, or HTTP to automate conversion inside larger document processing pipelines.
This conversion is one action in the DWS Processor API. Combine it with other conversions, OCR, extraction, and editing in a single request.
This example will convert your uploaded PNG file to a DOCX.

Nutrient’s infrastructure is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and GDPR-compliant. See our privacy policy and security documentation for details on data handling.
All communication between your application and Nutrient is done via HTTPS to ensure your data is encrypted when it’s sent to us.
All payments are handled by Paddle. Nutrient DWS Processor API never has direct access to any of your payment data.
A PNG-to-DOCX API converts PNG images into editable Word (DOCX) documents with a single API call. With Nutrient’s DWS Processor API, you can turn scanned pages and screenshots into Word files without building your own conversion pipeline.
Send your PNG to the Nutrient DWS Processor API, and it returns a DOCX file you can open in Microsoft Word or any Office-compatible editor. You can call it via REST, curl, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, or plain HTTP, or make your first request from the Postman collection.
Yes. The API uses OCR to extract the text and structure from the image, so the resulting DOCX contains editable text rather than a picture embedded in a Word file.
Yes. Use the JPG-to-DOCX API for JPG input, or the image-to-Office API for broader Office output across all image sources.
You can call the API from any language that can make HTTP requests. We provide quick start examples for JavaScript, Python, Java, C# (.NET), and PHP, plus REST and a Postman collection.
Yes. Start free with 50 monthly credits and watermarked output, then enable pay-as-you-go or choose a Processor API plan for watermark-free output.
