FAQ
How accurate is it?
Clear, straight, printed text reads well. Handwriting, very small text and photos taken at an angle are harder. Straighten receipts first with "Receipt to PDF".
Why is the first run slow?
The reading engine and language data (a few MB) are loaded from this site once and kept by your browser. Your files are not sent anywhere.
Is it safe to use Image & PDF to Text (OCR) with my files?
Yes. Your files are never uploaded — they're processed only inside your browser. Every page is served with a policy that blocks outgoing connections (Content-Security-Policy connect-src 'none'), and the counter in the bottom-left shows the data sent: 0 bytes.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It's completely free, no account needed, and there are no usage limits.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. For very large files, a computer will be faster.
