What is OCR and how does this tool extract text from images?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) analyzes an image, enhances readability, detects language, and converts printed text into editable text. We use Tesseract with smart preprocessing so you can copy results instantly.
Which image formats does this tool support?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, and TIFF are supported. Upload lecture notes, receipts, code screenshots, or scanned pages and process them individually.
Can I extract text from images in different languages?
Yes. Language detection runs automatically across common scripts (Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic). No manual selection needed.
Are my images stored or logged on your servers?
No. Files are processed for OCR and not stored permanently. Clear the list any time.
Can I upload multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload a batch, select any image to extract text, and manage results per file for notes or code snippets.
Does this tool work with handwritten text?
Handwriting accuracy depends on clarity. High-resolution, well-lit scans produce better results for cursive or block letters.
How can I get better OCR accuracy from scanned documents?
Use high-resolution scans, correct orientation, and good lighting. Center the text and avoid shadows for the cleanest extraction.
Is this Extract Text from Image tool free to use?
Yes. It’s free, multi-language capable, and optimized for fast results for students, developers, and researchers.
