faq
Questions, answered.
01Are my images uploaded for processing?
No. The OCR engine (Tesseract) runs as WebAssembly in your browser, so sensitive documents and screenshots never leave your device.
02How accurate is the recognition?
On clean screenshots and scans accuracy is very high. Photos taken at an angle, low resolution or decorative fonts reduce it — cropping to just the text helps.
03Which languages are supported?
The engine is loaded with English training data, which also handles numbers and common symbols. Other Latin-alphabet languages are readable but less accurate.
04Is Image to Text free to use?
Yes, Image to Text is completely free, with no sign-up, no page limits and no premium tier. It runs entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
