    Boosts contrast and sharpness before reading — helps faint receipts, whiteboard photos, and dim screenshots. OCR works best on clear, high-contrast text.

    🎉 Free forever. No sign-up. No credit card. No limits.

    This tool runs entirely in your browser — extract text from as many images as you like. Your files never leave your device.

    How it works

    1. Add an image — a photo, screenshot, or scan containing text.
    2. Pick the language — English, Spanish, French, or German. Toggle auto-enhance if the text is faint.
    3. Hit “Extract Text” — the OCR engine loads once (~10MB, cached after), then reads your image on your device with a live progress bar.
    4. Copy or download — edit the result in the text box, copy it, or save it as a .txt file.

    Everyday uses

    • Receipts & invoices — digitize paper receipts for expense tracking.
    • Students — turn whiteboard photos and textbook pages into study notes.
    • Job seekers — pull text from job-posting screenshots into your tracker.
    • Researchers — extract quotes from scanned pages and photos of books.
    • Travelers — read signs, menus, and documents in four languages.

    Tip: OCR works best on clear, high-contrast text. Crop tightly around the text and keep the image straight — skewed or blurry photos hurt accuracy.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it really free? Yes — unlimited, no sign-up, no credit card. The OCR engine runs on your device.

    Is my image uploaded anywhere? Never. Your file stays in your browser from start to finish.

    Which languages are supported? English, Spanish, French, and German — pick the chip before extracting.

    Why did it miss some text? Low contrast, blur, rotation, and decorative fonts all reduce accuracy. Try the auto-enhance toggle, a brighter photo, or a tighter crop.
