Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?
Yes, completely free forever. No hidden costs, no subscriptions, no premium tiers. All features including 100+ languages and unlimited usage are available to everyone at no charge.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely. All OCR processing happens in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device - they're not uploaded to any server. We can't see your images or extracted text.
How accurate is the OCR?
Very accurate for clear, well-lit images with printed text. We use Tesseract 5 with LSTM neural networks, the same engine used by Google. For best results, use the auto-enhance feature or manually adjust contrast and brightness.
What languages are supported?
We support 100+ languages including all major world languages. You can even process images containing multiple languages simultaneously by selecting multiple language packs.
Can it recognize handwriting?
Limited support for handwriting. OCR works best with printed or typed text. For handwritten text, results will vary significantly based on legibility and writing style.
Can I extract text from PDF files?
Yes! Upload PDF files and we'll extract text from each page. Works with both image-based PDFs (scanned documents) and text-based PDFs.
What export formats are supported?
Export to plain text (TXT), Word documents (DOCX), PDF, JSON (with metadata), TSV (with coordinates), or HTML (with positioning). Choose the format that works best for your workflow.
