Browser OCR
Free Image to Text OCR
Upload an image and extract editable text in your browser.
A focused OCR tool, not a signup funnel
The first job is simple: convert an image into text quickly, then explain formats, privacy, and PDF limitations clearly.
Immediate output
Run image OCR directly in the browser and copy the result without creating an account.
Transparent scope
Image OCR is live. The PDF page is a guide until server-side PDF OCR is shipped.
Supported files
Best results come from clear JPG, PNG, and WEBP images under 10 MB.
Useful exports
Copy OCR text or download a TXT file for notes, spreadsheets, research, and admin work.
Privacy needs to be visible before upload
OCR users often upload sensitive documents. The site should explain file handling, browser processing, cookies, and advertising disclosures in plain language.
Image OCR runs in the browser demo. Production server uploads should document retention rules.
State that user documents are not used to train models unless a user explicitly opts in.
Before AdSense, disclose cookies, third-party vendors, and ad personalization choices.

Yes. The current browser image OCR flow is free for everyday image files.

JPG, PNG, and WEBP images are the supported upload types in the live tool.

Use sharp images, high contrast, straight pages, and avoid heavy shadows or blurred screenshots.
