Straightens skewed scans and boosts contrast on unevenly-lit photos before recognition. Slower — leave off for clean digital images.

The OCR engine runs entirely on your device. The language model is downloaded once from the official tessdata source and cached — your image is never uploaded to any server.

About Image to Text (OCR)

Extract text from images for free with on-device OCR. Supports English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic. Runs entirely in your browser.

Image to Text (OCR) is a free text & language utility that runs an AI model directly inside your browser — your source material never leaves your device. The only thing that touches the network is the model file itself: on the first run, your browser downloads it from a public CDN (think of it like downloading an app) and caches it. Every subsequent run uses the cached copy, so after that first visit the tool is essentially an offline desktop app that lives in a tab.

The trade-off is honest. First-time use needs a working internet connection and takes noticeably longer than later runs because the model has to arrive before anything can happen. The upside is enormous: once the download finishes, your photos, documents, or recordings never travel anywhere. No "we'll just send this to our API real quick" moment, no server-side logging, no risk that a free tier gets rate-limited at the wrong time. No account, no email form, no watermark, no ads.
