How to Extract Text from an Image (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. With our Free JPG to Text Converter, you can digitize your documents in seconds without installing any software.

Whether you need to grab a quote from a book, digitize a business card, or extract text from a screenshot, this tool handles it all. We use the latest Tesseract AI engine to ensure high accuracy across multiple languages.

Why This Tool is Better

• Multi-Language Support: Unlike basic tools that only read English, we support over 100 languages including Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish.
• Privacy First: Your documents are processed directly in your web browser. We do not store or view your files.
• No Limits: Convert as many images as you want. There are no daily limits or paywalls.
• Preserves Formatting: We try to maintain the basic structure of your text, making it easier to copy into Word or Google Docs.

How to Get the Best Results

OCR technology is powerful, but the quality of the output depends heavily on the quality of your input image. Follow these tips for the best accuracy:

1. Lighting is Key: Ensure the document is well-lit. Shadows across the text can confuse the AI.
2. Avoid Blur: The text should be sharp and clear. If the photo is blurry, the tool might mistake letters (e.g., seeing 'l' instead of '1').
3. Correct Orientation: Make sure the text is right-side up. If your image is rotated, use an image editor to rotate it before uploading.
4. Select the Right Language: If your document is in Hindi, make sure to select "Hindi" from the dropdown menu. This tells the AI which character set to look for.
