How to Use JPG to Text Converter

Our JPG to Text converter uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to extract text from your images. Follow these steps to convert your JPG images to editable text:

1

Select OCR Settings

Choose the language of the text in your image and the OCR mode that suits your needs. The accurate mode is slower but produces better results, while the fast mode is quicker but might be less precise.

2

Upload Your JPG/JPEG Image

Drag and drop your image onto the upload area or click to browse and select a file from your device. Make sure the image has clear, readable text for the best results.

3

Wait for Processing

Our OCR engine will analyze your image and extract the text. This may take a few moments depending on the size and complexity of the image.

4

Get Your Text

Once processing is complete, you'll see the extracted text alongside your original image. You can copy the text to your clipboard or download it as a text file.

About JPG to Text Conversion

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that recognizes text within digital images. It's commonly used to convert handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text that can be edited, searched, and stored more compactly.

Our JPG to Text converter is useful for many scenarios:

  • Digitizing printed documents, books, or articles
  • Extracting text from screenshots or images with text
  • Making scanned documents searchable and editable
  • Transcribing handwritten notes (though results vary based on handwriting clarity)
  • Converting text in images for translation purposes

For best results, upload images with:

  • Clear, high-resolution text
  • Good lighting and contrast between text and background
  • Minimal background noise or patterns
  • Text aligned horizontally (not rotated)

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the text extraction?

The accuracy of OCR depends on several factors including image quality, text clarity, font type, and language. For clear digital text in good lighting, our tool can achieve 95%+ accuracy. Handwritten text, unusual fonts, or low-quality images may have lower accuracy. The "Accurate" OCR mode provides the best results but takes longer to process.

Can I extract text from handwritten notes?

Yes, but with limitations. Our OCR technology can recognize clear, consistent handwriting, but results vary greatly depending on the legibility of the handwriting. Printed or typed text generally yields much better results than handwritten content.

What languages are supported?

Our tool supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and more. For best results, make sure to select the correct language that matches the text in your image.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, our free online converter has a maximum file size limit of 5MB per image. If your image is larger, you may need to compress it first or try cropping it to include only the relevant text.

Is my data safe when using this tool?

Yes, your data is completely safe. Our JPG to Text converter processes files directly in your browser using client-side technology. Your images are not uploaded to our servers, and no copies of your images or extracted text are stored anywhere except on your own device.

Can I extract text from tables or complex layouts?

Our OCR tool can recognize text in tables and various layouts, but it may not perfectly preserve the original formatting. Tables might be converted to plain text with spaces or simple line breaks. For complex documents with specific formatting needs, you might need specialized OCR software.
