How accurate is this online OCR?

Our tool uses the latest Tesseract.js engine, offering high accuracy for clear, high-contrast images. For best results, ensure your image is well-lit and the text is not blurry.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Unlike other online OCR tools, this processes everything client-side in your web browser. Your sensitive documents (receipts, IDs) never leave your device.

Does it support handwriting?

It is optimized for printed text (books, screens, documents). Handwriting recognition is experimental and results may vary depending on the legibility of the writing.

Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Yes, if the PDF pages are converted to images (JPG/PNG) first. You can use our 'PDF to Image' tool, then run those images through this OCR tool.

What languages are supported?

The default model is English, which works well for most Latin-script languages. We are working on adding multi-language selection in future updates.

Extract text from images

Image to Text (OCR) is a powerful optical character recognition tool that instantly extracts readable text from images, photos, screenshots, and scanned documents.

It supports multiple languages and handles various image formats (JPG, PNG, BMP, PBM). The tool also allows you to copy the extracted text to your clipboard with a single click or download it as a plain text file for further editing.
