FAQs

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The image and extracted text stay in your browser during processing.

Which image formats can I use?

You can use JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP images up to the displayed browser-processing limits.

Which language does the tool recognize?

The tool currently recognizes printed English text. It does not automatically detect or load other languages.

Can it read handwriting?

The tool is designed for printed text. Handwriting results may be incomplete or inaccurate.

What should I do if no text is found?

Rotate the image upright and try a sharper image with larger text and stronger contrast.

Should I check the text before using it?

Yes. OCR can misread names, numbers, punctuation, and low-contrast characters, so review important text against the original image.
