Image to Text — Free OCR in Your Browser

Turn any image to text with free OCR that runs completely in your browser — screenshots, phone photos of notes, scanned pages. Supports English and Hindi, cleans up your photo automatically, and never uploads your document.

  • No upload — files stay on your device
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Free forever, no signup, no watermark

Language on the page

Indian documents often mix scripts — pick Hindi + English for those.

Your file is read entirely on this device — it is never uploaded. The only download is the open-source Tesseract OCR engine itself (worker, core and language data), fetched once from a CDN after you click, then cached. Printed text reads reliably; handwriting mostly does not, and a blurry or skewed photo will disappoint — retaking the picture flat-on beats any setting here.

{{ stageLabel }}

One-time download — after this the engine is cached, and your file still never leaves the device.

Blue boxes are confident words; amber ones are guesses worth checking.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop an image or snap a photo of the page

    JPG, PNG and WebP all work. On a phone, tapping the box lets you use the camera directly.

  2. Pick the language and leave Enhance on

    English, Hindi, or both. The Enhance option upscales and sharpens contrast — it makes a real difference on phone photos.

  3. Tap Extract text, then copy or download

    The first click fetches the open-source OCR engine once (then it is cached); the recognized text appears in an editable box with each word's position shown over your image.

Questions people ask

How can I extract text from an image for free?

Drop the image here and tap Extract — the OCR runs on your device with no signup and no limits. The result is editable, copyable and downloadable as a .txt file.

Does this OCR support Hindi?

Yes — full Devanagari support, alone or mixed with English on the same page. Pick the Hindi + English chip for typical Indian documents.

How accurate is it?

On clear printed text after auto-enhancement, typically 90–98%. Handwriting is not supported — no browser OCR reads it dependably, and we would rather say so than waste your time. Each word's confidence is shown, with shaky ones flagged in amber.

Why did my photo come out garbled?

Blur, glare and skew are the usual culprits — a blurry phone photo will disappoint any OCR. Retake the picture flat-on in even light if you can; if the layout is unusual, switching the page-layout mode to "single block" or "sparse text" often fixes scrambled ordering.

Why does it download several megabytes the first time?

That is the open-source OCR engine (Tesseract) plus its language data — roughly 15 MB for English — fetched only after you click and then cached by your browser, so later runs start straight away. Your image itself is never uploaded.

Is my document private?

Completely — recognition happens in your browser's memory. The image never crosses the network, which you can verify from your browser's network tab while it runs.
