About Image to Text Converter

Our Image to Text Converter uses advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to extract text from images. This tool is perfect for digitizing printed documents, extracting text from screenshots, converting scanned PDFs, or making image-based text searchable and editable.

The OCR engine can recognize text in multiple languages and works best with clear, high-contrast images. For best results, upload images with good lighting, minimal distortion, and where text is clearly visible and properly oriented.

This tool processes your images directly in your browser, ensuring your data never leaves your computer. No image or extracted text is stored on our servers, providing complete privacy and security for your sensitive documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OCR (Optical Character Recognition)?
OCR is technology that recognizes text within images, such as scanned documents or photographs, and converts it into machine-readable text data that can be edited, searched, and stored compactly.
What types of images work best with this tool?
Images that have clear, high-contrast text work best. Good lighting, minimal background noise, and properly oriented text will yield the most accurate results. The tool works well with printed text but may have difficulty with handwritten text or highly stylized fonts.
Is there a limit to how many images I can process?
No, there is no limit to the number of images you can process. However, there is a file size limit of 5MB per image to ensure optimal performance.
Will this tool work with handwritten text?
This tool is optimized for typed or printed text. While it may recognize some clear handwriting, the accuracy will be significantly lower compared to machine-printed text.
