OCR runs locally in your browser using Tesseract.js, so files are not uploaded to a server. It supports Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and more. Accuracy depends heavily on image quality and font clarity; stylized Chinese characters may not be recognized correctly.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
Optical character recognition (OCR) converts text visible in an image into selectable text. This page accepts image files, lets you choose a recognition language group, and shows a separate text result for each image. You can copy one image’s result or copy a combined result for several images. It does not create a formatted document: columns, tables, page layout, and pictures are not preserved as editable structure.
The available presets cover English; Simplified Chinese; Simplified Chinese with English; Traditional Chinese with English; Japanese with English; and Korean with English. Some selector labels use the language’s own script. Choose the group that best matches the image’s text before processing. OCR means recognition, not translation.
Sharp, upright text with clear contrast is easier to recognize than small, blurred, skewed, or decorative text. The OCR maintainer’s guidance discusses image resolution, skew, borders, and other preprocessing factors that can affect recognition output.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Choose the preset closest to the text in the image. The default combines Simplified Chinese and English; switch it before starting if another listed group is a better match.
Select or drag in one or more images. The tool accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, BMP, and GIF, with a maximum of five files and a 1 MiB limit per image.
New images begin processing. For pending or failed items, use the control to process all eligible images again. Check each image’s status separately.
Copy a single image’s result from its row, or use the combined text when several images are complete. Compare names, numbers, punctuation, and line breaks against the image.
For example, a clear screenshot containing a short English notice can produce text that is easier to search or paste into notes. Keep the screenshot open while checking the copied text; OCR may confuse similar characters such as 0 and O or omit faint punctuation.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Extract a draft of printed text before entering it into a document. Keep the image available and check totals, dates, and reference numbers character by character.
Make text in an announcement, message, or error screenshot searchable and copyable. Select a matching language group, then restore any layout or headings manually in the destination document.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. Add supported image files. A PDF must first be converted to image pages elsewhere if you want to use this OCR workflow.
Yes. Each completed image has its own copy control. The combined result is a separate option for multiple processed images.
They follow the order of images in the list, with a divider between each image’s text. Check the list order before copying the combined result.
Check that the selected language group fits the image and that the text is upright, sharp, and legible. Then compare the result with the image; recognition can still miss or confuse characters.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
The output is plain recognized text. It does not preserve the original image layout, table alignment, or formatting, and there is no PDF input or TXT download control. Copy the text into another document if you need to save it, then rebuild formatting as needed.
Small type, blur, glare, low contrast, skew, complex backgrounds, and unusual fonts can cause omissions or substitutions. Verify important names, addresses, amounts, identifiers, legal language, or quotations against the original image before relying on them. The language selector includes labels in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, so not every visible control label is English.
