- How do I convert an image to editable text?
- Select OCR language, upload the image, wait for extraction, then copy the output text. You can rerun OCR if you change language settings.
- Which file types can I upload?
- The uploader accepts image files supported by your browser, including common formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF. For best OCR accuracy, use a sharp PNG or high-quality JPG.
- What is the maximum file size?
- The current upload limit is 10MB per image.
- Can I choose OCR language?
- Yes. The tool includes a language selector with multiple options including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Hindi.
- Can I copy text from a screenshot?
- Yes. Screenshots are one of the best OCR inputs because the text is usually flat, sharp, and high contrast. Upload the screenshot, run OCR, then copy the extracted text.
- Can this extract text from receipts or invoices?
- Yes, if the receipt or invoice photo is clear. Crop the image to the document area, avoid shadows, and review numbers carefully because OCR can confuse similar characters.
- Does this OCR tool work for handwriting?
- It can extract some handwriting when letters are clear and well spaced, but typed/printed text usually gives more reliable results.
- Can I extract text from PDFs directly?
- This page processes image uploads. For PDF files, convert pages to images first, then run OCR on those images.
- Why is my OCR output missing words?
- Missing words usually come from blur, low contrast, small text, angled photos, shadows, unusual fonts, or the wrong OCR language. Try a sharper image, crop closer, rotate upright, and run OCR again.
- Is this free and no-login?
- Yes. You can use the OCR workflow without creating an account.
- How can I improve OCR accuracy?
- Use sharp, high-contrast images, keep text horizontal, crop unnecessary background, and select the correct OCR language before processing.
