How accurate is the text recognition?

Accuracy depends on image quality — clear, well-lit, high-contrast text (like a clean screenshot or a well-scanned page) recognizes best. This tool uses a fast OCR model tuned for speed; for the cleanest results, use a sharp, high-resolution image with the text roughly horizontal.

What languages are supported?

English and French are recognized automatically in the same pass — you don't need to choose a language. Support for more languages may be added later.

Can this read text from a PDF?

This tool is for image files (JPG, PNG, WebP). For a PDF that already has a text layer, use PDF to Text instead. For a scanned PDF with no text layer, use Scanned PDF to Text, which applies the same OCR engine page by page.

Are my files kept private?

Your files are processed on our servers solely to perform the recognition. They are deleted automatically once the download is complete and are never shared or stored long-term.
