Tesseract OCR runs in the browser. The library may be fetched from CDN, but your selected files and extracted text do not upload.

Pull text out of any image or scanned document

This OCR tool reads text from photos, screenshots and scanned PDF pages using Tesseract running entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — the recognition engine downloads once from a CDN and then processes your files locally.

What it's good for

Pulling text out of a screenshot to quote or edit elsewhere.
Digitizing a scanned document or photographed page.
Extracting specific pages from a scanned PDF as searchable text.
Recognizing both English and Hindi text, or a mix of both.

Tips for better accuracy

OCR works best on clear, well-lit, high-contrast text. Straighten skewed photos before scanning where possible, and choose the matching language option — mixing languages without selecting the combined option can reduce accuracy.

How accurate is browser-based OCR?

Accuracy depends on image quality — clean, high-resolution scans of printed text perform very well, while handwriting or low-resolution photos are less reliable.

Can I OCR multiple PDF pages at once?

Yes — enter a page range like 1-3,5 in the PDF OCR field, or leave it blank to process every page.

Does this support languages other than English and Hindi?

This tool currently ships with English and Hindi recognition. Let us know if you need another language and we'll consider adding it.

Is there a size limit for images or scanned PDFs?

There's no fixed server-side limit since recognition runs in your browser — very large images or long page ranges simply take longer depending on your device's processing power.
