Image to Text (OCR)
Extract text from images using browser-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Extract text from screenshots, scanned documents, and photos entirely in your browser. Since the OCR engine runs locally, your sensitive documents are never uploaded to any server. Note: The first run will download a ~20MB English language model to your browser cache.

Image to Text Converter (OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts printed or handwritten text in an image into machine-readable, editable text. The FluxToolkit OCR tool uses Tesseract.js — a powerful, battle-tested open-source OCR engine — to process your images entirely inside your browser. There is no server upload, no account required, and no usage limit.
How to Use the Image to Text Tool
- Click Upload Image or drag and drop a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF file onto the tool.
- On your first use, the tool downloads the Tesseract language model (~20MB) to your browser cache — this is a one-time step.
- Click Extract Text and watch the progress bar as your device's CPU processes the image.
- The extracted text appears in the output panel below the image.
- Click Copy to Clipboard or Download as .txt to use the result.
Common Use Cases
Digitizing Printed Documents: Scan physical receipts, invoices, contracts, or book pages with your phone camera and extract the text for editing, searching, or archiving.
Extracting Text from Screenshots: Copy text from app screenshots, error messages, PDF screenshots, or locked documents where the text layer is not selectable.
Whiteboard & Meeting Notes: Photograph whiteboard diagrams or handwritten meeting notes and convert them instantly into digital text for sharing or storing in note-taking apps.
Accessibility: Convert image-based text content into readable, screen-reader-compatible formats for users who rely on assistive technologies.
Tips for Best Accuracy
- Use images with high contrast (dark text on a light background yields the best results).
- Ensure the text is in focus and not blurred or skewed at a steep angle.
- Minimum recommended image resolution is 150 DPI for printed documents.
- For handwritten text, printed block letters are recognized more accurately than cursive.
Privacy & Security
All OCR processing runs on your own device using Tesseract.js. Your documents and images are never sent to any server, making this safe for processing confidential files such as medical reports, legal documents, or financial statements.
