What is OCR Technology?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.

Our tool uses the advanced Tesseract.js OCR engine, which is capable of recognizing text in various fonts and layouts with high accuracy. The browser-based implementation ensures your sensitive documents never leave your computer, providing maximum security.

Common Use Cases

  • Digitizing printed documents and books
  • Extracting text from screenshots
  • Converting photographed notes to digital text
  • Processing scanned forms and receipts
  • Translating text in foreign language images

Pull Editable Text Out of Photos, Scans and Screenshots

Retyping text from a photo or scan is slow and error-prone. This OCR tool reads the text in your image and turns it into editable, copyable text in seconds, using the Tesseract.js recognition engine — right inside your browser. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP and GIF images and recognizes text in over 20 languages, including English, Spanish and Japanese, with an image-enhancement option for difficult originals.

How to use it

  1. Drag and drop your image, or click to select it.
  2. Select the language and enable image enhancement if the original is faint or skewed.
  3. Click Extract Text, then copy, download or edit the result.

People use it to digitize printed documents and book pages, extract text from screenshots, convert photographed notes, and process scanned forms and receipts. Because nothing is uploaded to a server, even sensitive documents stay completely private on your device. Free, with no registration.
