When to use Image to Text (OCR)

A vendor sends over a photo of a signed contract, and you need to pull out three clauses to paste into your own document — retyping would take an hour. Upload the image here, select the language, and Tesseract.js processes the pixels on your computer to extract every line of readable text. The OCR engine runs locally via WebAssembly; nothing leaves your browser tab, which matters when the image is a medical form, a government ID, or confidential financial data. Works best on high-contrast printed text; accuracy drops on handwriting or low-resolution photos taken at an angle. Copy the extracted text directly to your clipboard or download it as a plain text file.

  • Pull text from a scanned vendor contract to paste into your own agreement draft
  • Extract a whiteboard photo's notes into a Notion page after a strategy session
  • Convert a printed receipt photo into text for expense tracking in a spreadsheet

About this tool

You've got a scanned document, a screenshot of a table, or a photo of a whiteboard covered in notes — and you need the text out of it. Upload the image, select the language, and the OCR engine extracts everything it can read into copyable text. Works well on clear, high-contrast images; accuracy drops on handwriting or low-resolution scans. No server sees your input — processing runs locally in your browser, which matters for medical records, IDs, or confidential documents. Supports dozens of languages including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic.
