Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a JPG to text?
Upload or drag-and-drop your JPG image above, then open the "Extract text" tab in the details panel. The on-device OCR will read the text in seconds and let you copy it with one click.
Does this convert JPEG to text as well?
Yes. JPG and JPEG are the exact same image format, and both work seamlessly with our OCR text extractor.
Can I convert JPG to TXT plain text?
Yes. Once the text is extracted from your JPG photo or document, you can copy it to your clipboard with one click or paste it into a .txt file.
Is this JPG to text converter free to use?
Yes, completely free with no usage limits, no watermark, and no account or signup required.
Are my documents or photos uploaded to any server?
No. OCR processing happens 100% locally on your device via WebAssembly. Neither your image nor the extracted text is ever uploaded or stored.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once loaded in your browser, the OCR model is cached locally and will extract text from JPGs even when offline.
