FAQ

Very good on clear, high-contrast, horizontal text. Blurry, rotated or highly stylised text recognises less reliably.

Yes — Arabic, English, or a bilingual mode for mixed documents.

No. The Tesseract engine and language files run inside your browser; only those program files are downloaded once from a CDN.

The recognition engine and language data (a few MB) download on first use, then are cached for instant later runs.

About this tool: Image to Text (OCR)

Copy text straight out of any picture

The Image OCR tool extracts editable text from JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and other images using Tesseract's optical character recognition, running entirely in your browser. Photograph a page, screenshot a message, save a poster — drop it in and the words become selectable, copyable text in seconds.

Retyping printed text is one of the most tedious tasks in any office; OCR eliminates it. The tool recognises dozens of languages, handles screenshots and camera photos alike, and outputs plain text you can paste into notes, e-mails, translators or documents. Multi-file batches let you process a stack of photos in one pass.

Because recognition runs on your device, confidential pages — contracts, medical results, personal letters — stay private. The extracted text never touches a server either. For PDF documents rather than images, use the dedicated PDF OCR tool, which applies the same local recognition to whole documents.

Like every Piclizer tool, this one runs entirely in your browser — your files stay on your device.
