Reading your image…
The first conversion downloads the OCR language engine (a few MB) — after that it is fast. Your image itself is never uploaded: recognition runs entirely on your device.
How to use the Image to Text Converter
- Drop an image or click to browse — a photo, screenshot or scan.
- Pick the language written in the image.
- Wait for the OCR to finish, then copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this image to text converter free?
Yes — free, no sign-up. It uses the open-source Tesseract OCR engine, running entirely in your browser.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Recognition happens on your device. The only download is the OCR language engine itself (a few MB, once per language) from a public CDN.
How accurate is the OCR?
Very accurate on clear, printed text in good light. Blurry photos, steep angles, heavy shadows and handwriting reduce accuracy — for handwriting it works best on neat, printed-style writing.
Which languages are supported?
English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish and French. Urdu, Hindi and Arabic read right-to-left scripts, and the extracted text keeps the correct direction.
