Frequently Asked Questions
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It reads visible text inside an image and converts it into editable, copyable text. It is commonly used for screenshots, scanned pages, receipts, printed notes, forms, and photos of documents when you need to copy, search, or save the text.
Accuracy depends on image quality, text clarity, font style, and whether you selected the correct language. Clear, high-contrast printed text such as typed documents or screenshots can achieve very high accuracy, while blurry images, curved pages, handwriting, decorative fonts, or low-contrast text may reduce the result quality.
The OCR engine supports more than 100 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and many more. For the best results, choose the language that matches the text in your image before starting extraction.
This tool works with image files such as JPG, PNG, and WEBP. If your content is in a PDF, convert the page you need into an image first and then upload it here for OCR. For multi-page documents, process the pages one at a time.
Use high-resolution images with strong contrast, keep the text straight, crop away unnecessary borders, and avoid shadows or glare over the letters. Clean, well-lit images with readable printed text usually produce the best OCR results.
No. OCR runs locally in your browser with Tesseract.js, so your image and extracted text stay on your device during processing. The tool does not upload the document to a remote server for text extraction.
