Now the new tab opens with the image at the top and editable text below it. You can edit the text and resize the image here.
You can either delete the image and save the remaining text and close the tab. Now in you’ll see the Google Document with converted text beside the image file.

Points to be noted:
Image should be less than 2 MB in size.
Your converted text may have mistakes in it, so check it before using somewhere.
For PDF files, only first 10 pages are converted to text. If you have a large PDF file, instead of opting for a one-time conversion, go for step-by-step conversion of 10 page
