Is this OCR tool free?: Yes, completely free. No account required, no file limit, no watermarks on the output.
Are my images uploaded to a server?: No. This tool uses Tesseract.js, an open-source OCR engine that runs entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
What image formats are supported?: JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF are all supported. For best results, use a clear, high-resolution image with good contrast between text and background.
Why is the first extraction slow?: The OCR engine and language data files need to be downloaded on first use (a few MB per language). Subsequent extractions with the same language will be much faster.
What affects OCR accuracy?: Accuracy is highest with clear, well-lit images, printed text, and good contrast. Handwriting, decorative fonts, blurry photos, or low-resolution images will produce less accurate results.
