OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that converts images of text into machine-readable text. It analyzes the shapes and patterns in an image to identify letters, numbers, and symbols.
Common uses include:
Image Quality Matters — Higher resolution images with good contrast produce more accurate results. Avoid blurry or low-light photos.
Straighten Your Documents — Text that's tilted or skewed may be harder to recognize. Try to capture documents straight-on.
Tip: For scanned documents, 300 DPI produces excellent OCR results. Screenshots and photos work well too — just ensure the text is clearly visible.

This tool supports all common image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP. It also supports PDF files — including multi-page scanned documents. Each page of a PDF is processed separately and the text is combined in the output.
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-contrast images with printed text typically achieve 95%+ accuracy. The tool shows a confidence score for each extraction so you can verify the results. Handwritten text and low-quality images may have lower accuracy.
Absolutely not. All OCR processing happens entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly and Tesseract.js. Nothing is ever uploaded to any server. We have no ability to see, access, or store your documents. This makes our tool ideal for sensitive, confidential, or legally protected documents.
Yes, you can try extracting text from handwritten notes, though results vary based on handwriting legibility. The tool works best with clear, printed text. For handwritten content, neat block letters tend to produce better results than cursive writing.
