Image to Text (OCR)

About the Image to Text (OCR)

Upload one or many images and run optical character recognition entirely in your browser with Tesseract.js. Choose from 15 languages, tune the page-layout mode for columns or single lines, and optionally pre-process with contrast boost and upscaling for low-quality scans. Process a whole batch in one go, detect tables and export them as CSV or Markdown, flag low-confidence words, fix hyphenated line breaks, copy the result or download it as a text file — the image never leaves your device.
