Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an image to text?

Upload your photo, screenshot, JPG, PNG, or PDF, choose the language of the text, then click Extract Text. Our OCR engine reads the characters in the image and turns them into editable text you can copy or download.

What is OCR?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that converts images of text into editable, searchable text. This tool uses OCR to recognize printed and typed characters in your images and PDFs.

What file formats are supported?

We support PDF documents and common image formats including PNG, JPG, WebP, and BMP. For best results, use high-resolution images with clear, well-lit text.

Which languages can it read?

You can extract text in 15+ languages including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi, and Odia. Non-English languages are recognized alongside English so mixed documents work too.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All OCR processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server — no signup and no upload required.

Why is the confidence score important?

The confidence score shows how sure the OCR engine is about its recognition. Higher scores (80%+) typically mean more accurate results. Low scores may indicate blurry images or unusual fonts.
