Image to Text (OCR)
About Image OCR (Image to Text)
The Image to Text OCR tool uses Optical Character Recognition technology to extract selectable and copyable text from photographs, screenshots, and scanned documents. Whether you have a photo of a whiteboard full of notes, a screenshot of a non-selectable webpage, a scanned page from a book, or a picture of a handwritten document, our OCR engine analyzes the pixel patterns and converts the recognized characters into editable digital text. This eliminates the tedious task of manually retyping content from images. The OCR runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly compiled Tesseract OCR — your photos are never uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my document uploaded to any server?
No, the image is analyzed and all OCR processing happens entirely on your device using a locally compiled version of the open-source Tesseract OCR engine, delivered via WebAssembly. Your photos, screenshots, or scanned documents are never transmitted to our servers or any external service. They remain completely private on your device throughout the entire process.
How can I get the best OCR results?
For the best accuracy, use clear, well-lit images with high contrast between text and background. The text should be legible to a human eye — if it is hard for you to read, it will be hard for the OCR as well. Avoid blurry, skewed, or very low-resolution images. Printed text (especially in standard fonts) achieves much higher accuracy than handwritten text. Selecting the correct language also significantly improves recognition accuracy.
What languages are supported?
The Tesseract OCR engine supports over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, and many more. Select the appropriate language from the language dropdown before processing for the best recognition results.
