OCR extraction

JPG to Text | Extract Text from Photos (OCR, Free)

Snap a page, a whiteboard or a printed form | Image to Text reads it with real OCR and hands back clean, copy-pasteable text.

Open Image to Text
The OCR engine (Tesseract WASM) loads on first use and runs fully in your browser.

The extractor runs Tesseract compiled to WebAssembly inside your tab: the JPG decodes, the OCR engine recognises characters across 100+ languages, and the result appears as selectable text you can copy or download.

Quality tips that move accuracy from good to great: shoot perpendicular to the page, keep text at least ~30 px tall, and avoid flash glare | a 12-megapixel phone at arm's length is ideal.

Handwritten notes read less reliably than print (that is true of every OCR engine), but printed books, invoices, slides and screenshots extract cleanly | with the privacy bonus that sensitive documents never leave your device.

How accurate is JPG to text OCR?
Clean printed text at decent resolution typically extracts at 95-99% accuracy. Skewed shots, tiny fonts and handwriting lower that | re-shoot perpendicular for best results.
Which languages are supported?
Tesseract covers 100+ languages including Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali | pick the language of the document before running for the best result.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Every pixel is processed by JavaScript inside your own browser tab | nothing is sent to a server, stored or logged, which matters when the file is an ID photo or signature.

How to extract text from a JPG

  1. Open Image to Text and drop the JPG (or PNG).
  2. Select the document language.
  3. Run OCR | the first run downloads the engine, later runs are instant.
  4. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
