Language Choosing the right language makes a big difference to accuracy. Each language downloads once, then it is cached.

This tool converts files inside your browser, so it needs JavaScript enabled.

How this works

Choose a photo, screenshot or scan.
The OCR runs in your browser - the image is never uploaded anywhere.
Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
Sharp, straight, well-lit images give the best results. Accuracy drops quickly on blurry or tilted photos.
The first run downloads a language model of around 10 MB, so it takes a moment. After that it is cached in your browser and runs instantly.

Your file stays on your device. This conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded to our server, so nothing can be stored, read or leaked by us.
