Frequently asked questions
What is OCR and how does it work?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that extracts text from images. This tool uses Tesseract.js, a powerful open-source OCR engine that runs entirely in your browser.
Which languages can the OCR recognize?
The tool supports 100+ languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, and many more. You can select the language before processing.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The OCR processing happens entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js compiled to WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.
Can I extract text from handwritten notes?
The tool works best with printed text. Handwriting recognition is possible but accuracy varies depending on the legibility and style of the handwriting.
What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP files are supported. You can upload files, paste from clipboard, or drag and drop images directly into the tool.
