Good to know
A few useful answers.
The details that matter before you use Image to Text.
How does image-to-text work?
Optical character recognition, or OCR, analyzes the shapes of letters in an image. This tool runs Tesseract.js locally and returns plain text.
Does my image get uploaded?
No. The OCR worker and selected language model download to your browser. Your image and recognized text are processed locally and are not sent to analytics.
Can it read screenshots?
Yes. Clear screenshots with large, upright printed text usually work well. Tiny text and heavy image compression can reduce accuracy.
Which image formats work?
JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 15 MB and 20 megapixels. HEIC and PDF are not supported here.
Which languages work?
English and Spanish. Select the language that matches the image. Only the selected language model is loaded when extraction starts. This tool does not translate text.
Why can OCR make mistakes?
Blur, shadows, unusual fonts, handwriting and complex layouts can confuse recognition. Always review names, numbers and important details before using the output.
Can I process a batch?
This version handles one image at a time to keep OCR resource use predictable, especially on phones. After saving your result, choose Process another image.
Will it keep the document layout?
The result is plain text. Tables, columns, handwriting and exact formatting are not reliably preserved.
