Note: this tool loads a processing engine the first time you use it, so the first run can take a moment. After that it's quick, and your files stay in your browser.
OCR (optical character recognition) reads the text inside a picture, like a screenshot, a scanned page, or a photo of a document, and turns it into text you can copy and edit.
The OCR engine runs in your browser. The first scan downloads the recognition model, and after that it works offline and stays private.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the first scan take a moment?
