OCR
Image to text (OCR)
100% in your browser

Turn any image into text.

Drop a screenshot, scan, or photo and pull out the words inside it — editable, copyable, and ready to use. The text recognition runs entirely in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.

Your image never leaves this device. Recognition happens locally in your browser — no uploads, no servers. Close the tab and it's gone.

Choose a language above, then run OCR to extract the text. The recognized text appears below, ready to edit and copy.
First run: the recognition engine and the language data download once (a few MB) and are then cached by your browser, so later runs are fast.

How image-to-text works

01 / STAYS LOCAL

Nothing is uploaded

Your image is read straight off your device. The recognition engine runs as WebAssembly inside your browser — the picture never touches a server.

02 / READS THE PIXELS

OCR finds the words

Optical Character Recognition scans the image, detects letters and words, and reconstructs them as real, selectable text you can edit.

03 / CACHED ONCE

Fast after the first run

The engine and your chosen language pack download a single time, then your browser caches them so every later run starts almost instantly.
