Our story

About OCRImageToText

A fast, private, and completely free OCR tool — built because we were tired of OCR tools that demanded signups, throttled free usage, and uploaded your files to unknown servers.

Our Mission

We believe text extraction should be instant, free, and private. Whether you're a student digitizing lecture notes, a professional extracting data from scanned documents, or a developer prototyping an app — you shouldn't have to trade your privacy or pay a subscription fee for a basic utility.

That's why every bit of OCR processing on this site happens entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device. No server. No storage. No surveillance.

What Makes Us Different

100% Private

OCR runs client-side. Your files never touch our servers.

Instant Results

No upload queues, no waiting. Results appear in seconds.

Free Forever

No limits, no signup, no hidden premium tier.

Multiple Formats

Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, and PDF input. Export as .txt, .md, or copy.

Works Everywhere

Runs in any modern browser — desktop or mobile.

Accessible

Built with accessibility in mind. Keyboard navigable, screen-reader friendly.

The Technology

We use Tesseract.js, a pure JavaScript port of the world's most popular open-source OCR engine (Google Tesseract), combined with modern browser APIs to deliver accurate text extraction without any server-side processing.

The site itself is built with Astro — a static-site framework that ships zero JavaScript by default — which means the pages load fast and rank well in search engines.

Our Values

  • Privacy by default — never collect what you don't need.
  • Radical simplicity — one tool, one job, done well.
  • Accessibility — usable by everyone, on every device.
  • Open web — standard HTML, no walled gardens.
