Image to Text (OCR) — Extract Text from Images Using Optical Character Recognition
- Upload an image containing text — a scanned document, photo of a sign, screenshot, or any image with readable text. The tool accepts PNG, JPEG, WebP, and other common image formats.
- The OCR engine (Tesseract.js) analyzes your image, identifies text regions, and extracts the characters. The first run downloads the language data (~5MB), after which subsequent OCR operations are instant.
- Review and copy the extracted text. For best results, use images with clear, well-lit text at reasonable resolution. The tool supports multiple languages — select the appropriate language for better accuracy.
