How do I extract text from an image?

Does this use OCR?

Is it secure?

Yes. All processing happens directly in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server.

Client-Side Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Our image-to-text converter runs neural network OCR models locally using WebAssembly and JavaScript. By analyzing glyph patterns and spatial layouts in browser memory, text is extracted accurately from photos and scanned documents without transmitting files to external servers.

Key Use Cases

  • Digitizing printed receipts, invoices, and business cards into searchable text
  • Extracting editable quotes and passages from book pages and research documents
  • Converting photographed meeting notes and whiteboard diagrams into structured text

Privacy & Security Guarantee
