- Copy the extracted text.
Note: this tool runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Honest limit: OCR uses Tesseract.js in the browser: slower on large images, first use downloads the English language pack, and accuracy depends on clear, straight, high-contrast text. Handwriting is unreliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Image to Text OCR free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no sign-up.
Why is it slow on large images?
OCR reads every letter in the image. Large or low-contrast images take longer, and the English language pack downloads on first use.
How accurate is it?
Good on clear, straight, high-contrast text. Handwriting, fancy fonts and blurry photos give poor results — always proofread.
Is my image uploaded?
No. OCR runs entirely in your browser with Tesseract.js.
