FAQ

Common questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Text extraction (OCR) runs entirely in your browser, using an on-device OCR engine.

Why didn't it detect any text?

OCR works best on clear, higher-contrast text. Try a sharper image, better lighting, or a larger crop of just the text.

Can I fix mistakes in the extracted text?

Yes. The result appears in an editable text box, so you can correct anything before copying or downloading it.

What file formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WEBP images, up to 20 MB.

What's the difference between the TXT and Word downloads?

Both contain the same edited text. TXT is a plain text file; the Word option is a real .docx file that opens in Word, LibreOffice, or Google Docs.
