Good to know about Image to Text

Choose the language of the text under More settings for the best results. Clear, straight, well-lit images work best, and handwriting is hit and miss. The recognition engine is downloaded only after you agree, and your image stays on your device.

Everything happens in your browser: your files aren't uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, and there's nothing to install.

Questions

Is it safe to convert Image files here?

Yes. Your Image files are converted inside your own browser and are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them. It works just as well for private or work documents.

Can I convert several Image files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, then press Convert. When they're done you can download them one by one, or all together as a single .zip.

Is it really free?

Yes, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The site is paid for by ads, which you can turn off in Cookie settings.

Download the text reader?

Reading text from images needs an extra recognition engine (about 10–15 MB) that is fetched from jsDelivr, a public file host. Like any website you visit, jsDelivr will see your IP address.

Your image is not sent anywhere. It is still processed on your device.
