How to use Image to Text (OCR)

When to use Image to Text (OCR)
Retyping screenshots wastes time and introduces errors. Local OCR helps when cloud APIs are blocked by policy.
Common use cases

- Digitize a printed page without a scanner driver.
- Grab serial numbers from product label photos.
Inputs and outputs
- PNG, JPEG, or WebP images
- UTF-8 text output
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Processing uses local WebAssembly (WASM) where needed — your files and data never leave your device.
