About Image to Text (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reads the text inside an image and converts it into editable, selectable text you can copy elsewhere.

This tool processes everything on your device, so it works offline after the first load and never sends your images anywhere.

Tips for best results:

  • Use clear, high-contrast images with sharp text
  • Pick the language that matches the text in the image
  • Crop out noisy backgrounds before scanning
  • Straighten skewed or rotated photos when possible

This tool is powered by tesseract.js, a WebAssembly port of the Tesseract OCR engine that runs entirely in the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded when I extract text?
No. OCR runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, stored, or sent to any server.
Which languages are supported?
This tool supports many languages including English, Indonesian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and major European languages. Pick the language that matches the text in your image for the best accuracy.
Why is the first scan slow?
The OCR engine and the selected language pack are downloaded once on first use, then cached by your browser. Later scans in the same language are much faster.
How can I improve recognition accuracy?
Use clear, high-contrast images with sharp text, select the correct language, crop out noisy backgrounds, and straighten skewed or rotated photos when possible.
