Image OCR (Text Extraction)

Extracts text from images, screenshots and scans using the Tesseract engine running in your browser via WebAssembly. Supports over 100 languages, and the text never leaves your device.

Runs 100% in your browser — images never leave your device.

Notes

  • The OCR engine and language data (a few megabytes) are downloaded from a CDN on first use, then cached. Clean, high-contrast, horizontal text recognizes best.
  • Everything runs locally in your browser; your images are never uploaded to any server.
