Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the OCR text extraction?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality, resolution, font clarity, and contrast. Clean, high-resolution images with printed text typically yield 95%+ accuracy. Handwritten text, low-resolution images, or complex backgrounds may reduce accuracy.
What image formats are supported?
We support PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP image formats. For best results, use high-resolution PNG or JPG images with clear, readable text.
Which languages can the OCR recognize?
The tool supports English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian. Select the correct language before extracting text for optimal results.
Is my image data private and secure?
Yes, completely. All OCR processing happens locally in your web browser using Tesseract.js. Your images are never uploaded to any server. Once you close the page, all data is gone.
Can I extract text from handwritten notes?
The OCR engine is optimized for printed text. While it can sometimes recognize clear handwriting, results vary significantly. For best results, use images with typed or printed text.
