Extract text from images using OCR.
About Image OCR Extractor
The Image OCR Extractor converts text locked inside images into editable text. Students, office workers, and researchers use it to digitize scanned documents, capture quotes from screenshots, and avoid retyping printed pages. Upload a JPG or PNG image containing clear text, choose the OCR language for accurate recognition, and run extraction with the "Extract Text" button. The recognized text appears for review and correction before you download it as plain text, a Word document, or a PDF. Optical character recognition runs locally in your browser, so confidential documents are never sent to an external service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do my documents go during OCR?
Nowhere. Recognition runs entirely on your device in the browser, so sensitive documents such as contracts, receipts, and ID scans are never uploaded to a server.
What kinds of text does OCR handle well?
Printed, horizontal, high-contrast text on clean backgrounds gives accurate results. Handwritten, curved, or very small text is more challenging and may need manual correction.
Is the Image OCR Extractor free?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no page limits. Extract text from as many images as you need.
