How to use Image to Text Converter (OCR)

  1. Choose your file or load the example.
  2. Review the settings and the format notes before continuing.
  3. Select Convert on server and download the result.

Recover text from a clear picture

Upload a still image of printed English text, such as a receipt, screenshot or photographed note. The OCR engine reads the picture and returns editable plain text that you can copy or download. Keep the text upright, well lit and large enough to read; crop unnecessary surroundings before uploading. A sharp source usually matters more than simply increasing the file size.

Check every important recognition result

OCR can confuse similar characters, miss faint lines and reorder text in complex layouts. This tool uses a bundled English recognition model and does not promise handwriting recognition or support for every language. Inputs are limited to six million pixels and are reduced to a bounded working size. Review names, amounts and identifiers against the original image before reuse. The model runs on this server without calling an external OCR service or saving an OCR history.

Where is my file processed?

The selected file is sent to this site only when you run the server conversion. Processing uses memory without a saved conversion history.

Is input uploaded?

This tool sends input to this site’s conversion API after you select Convert on server. Files use bounded workers and, when needed, private temporary folders deleted after processing or cancellation. No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
