OCR — Image to Text
Drop an image, screenshot, scanned page or photo and the tool reads the text inside it and gives you back editable, copyable text. It runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js, so your images are never uploaded to any server.
Languages & tips
Tesseract supports 100+ languages; this tool offers English and French by default plus a few more. For best results use a sharp, high-contrast image with straight (not skewed) text. The first run downloads the language data once, then it is cached by your browser.
Privacy
This tool runs 100% in your browser via Tesseract.js. Your image is read into your browser memory through the FileReader API and is never uploaded to any server. Nothing is stored — closing the tab clears everything. Note: the Tesseract engine and its language data are fetched from a public CDN on first use and then cached by your browser; only the OCR processing happens locally on your device.
