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.

Frequently Asked Questions

OCR works best on images with high contrast. For example, black text on a white background with good lighting will yield near-perfect results.
