Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image data private?
Yes, 100% private. All OCR processing happens locally in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
What image formats are supported?
The tool supports PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, and BMP images. For best results, use high-resolution images with clear, well-lit text.
Which languages are supported?
The tool supports multiple languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and more. Select the appropriate language for better accuracy.
Why is OCR accuracy not 100%?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality, font type, contrast, and text clarity. Handwritten text, unusual fonts, or low-resolution images may have lower accuracy.
Does this work offline?
After the initial load (which downloads the language model), the OCR can work offline. The Tesseract.js engine runs entirely in your browser.
