Image to Text (OCR)
Image to Text uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read the text in a photo or screenshot, right in your browser. The recognised text can be copied or downloaded.
🔒 OCR runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded. The engine downloads once on first use.
How to use Image to Text (OCR)
- Choose an image containing text.
- Wait while it is recognised (the OCR engine loads on first use).
- Copy the extracted text.
Frequently asked questions
Does my image get uploaded?
No — OCR runs locally in your browser with Tesseract. The first run downloads the recognition engine.
Which languages are supported?
This tool recognises English text. Clear, high-contrast images give the best results.
Why is the first run slower?
The OCR engine and language data are downloaded once, then cached for subsequent runs.
