Image to Text OCR

Image to Text OCR reads printed text from images using Tesseract, an open-source OCR engine compiled to WebAssembly, with bundled English and Hindi (Devanagari) language data. Choose the language, optionally rotate, scale, convert to grayscale or boost contrast, and the recognised text appears in an editable box with word and character counts and the engine’s own confidence score.

Retyping text from screenshots, scanned forms, receipts, notices or book pages is slow and error-prone. OCR gives you editable text in seconds — and because everything runs in your browser, private documents are never uploaded. OCR is not perfect: blurry, skewed, low-resolution or handwritten images can produce mistakes, so the output is editable and should be checked.

1. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or other browser-supported image containing text.
2. Choose English, Hindi (Devanagari) or English + Hindi.
3. Rotate the image upright if needed, and try Scale 200% or more contrast for small or faint text.
4. Press Extract text and follow the real progress from the OCR engine.
5. Check and correct the recognised text in the editable box.
6. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
