How to get the best result
- Use a sharp, straight, well lit image with dark text on a light background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the image to text converter free?
Yes. It is free and needs no signup.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The text recognition runs inside your browser. Your image is not sent to our servers. The first time you use a language, your browser downloads the recognition engine and language data from a public content network.
Why is the text not accurate?
Blurry, tilted, small or low contrast images reduce accuracy. Try a clearer image, crop it, and make sure the language setting matches the text.
Can it read handwriting?
Not reliably. It is built for printed text.
What does the confidence score mean?
It shows how sure the recognition engine is about the text it found. A lower score means you should check the result carefully.
