Our image to text converter is a free online tool that uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract text from images/scanned documents and instantly convert it into readable and editable text formats.
The entire extraction process is performed locally in your browser. Your files and images are never uploaded or sent to any external server, including our own. No data leaves your device during the OCR operation, ensuring complete privacy and confidentiality of your documents.
Please note that, converting images does not always yield perfect results. The accuracy of the conversion depends on the quality of the image and the text within it. To convert image to text effectively, make sure to upload clear, high-resolution images with legible text.
