About the Scan Image Text (OCR) tool
Extract text from images and photos using optical character recognition (OCR), powered by the open-source Tesseract engine. Turn screenshots, photographed pages, and scans into text you can copy and edit.
Your image is analyzed on your own device. The OCR engine itself is downloaded from a public CDN on first use, but the image never leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the text recognition?expand_more
Accuracy depends on the source: sharp, high-contrast images with straight text work best. Blurry photos, handwriting, and stylized fonts reduce accuracy.
Is my image uploaded for processing?expand_more
No — recognition runs in your browser. Only the open-source OCR engine is fetched from a CDN the first time you use the tool.
What do I get as output?expand_more
The recognized text is shown for copying and can also be downloaded as a .txt file.
