What Is Image to Text (OCR) ?
Extracting text from an image is called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Whether it is a photo of a receipt, a screenshot of a webpage, a scanned book page, or a picture of a sign, our OCR tool reads the text and lets you copy or download it as a plain text file.
Manual typing is slow, error-prone, and impossible for large documents. OCR recognizes the characters in your image and reconstructs them as selectable, editable, searchable text in seconds. Our tool runs entirely in your browser using the Tesseract engine compiled to WebAssembly — your images are never uploaded to any server.
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-contrast, well-lit images of printed text give the best results. The tool supports 12+ languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi, so you can extract text in the language of your document.
Our OCR is perfect for digitizing receipts and invoices, quoting passages from scanned books, copying text from screenshots and presentations, converting business cards to contacts, and making scanned documents searchable.
