About this conversion
Upload a photo, scan, or screenshot and open "Details → Extract Text" to run on-device OCR (powered by Tesseract, running as WebAssembly directly in your browser). The recognized text appears in a copyable box -- no image data is ever sent anywhere to do it.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the text extraction?
It works well on clear, reasonably high-contrast text -- printed documents, screenshots, signs. Handwriting, low-resolution scans, or heavily stylized fonts will be less reliable, as with any OCR engine.
Does this work offline?
Yes, once the OCR engine has loaded once, it’s cached by your browser and will keep working without an internet connection.
Is my image or the extracted text uploaded anywhere?
No. OCR runs entirely on your device via WebAssembly. Nothing about the image or the recognized text is ever transmitted.
