Frequently asked questions
How do I copy text out of an image?
Drop in a photo or screenshot and the text recogniser reads it right in your browser. The recognised text appears in an editable box — copy it all with one click.
Is my image uploaded for the text recognition?
No. The OCR engine (Tesseract, the same open-source engine many scanners use) runs on your device via WebAssembly. Screenshots often contain private conversations and documents — they never leave your browser here.
Which languages does it recognise?
English and Portuguese are built in, and the engine downloads the selected language pack on first use — after that it's cached and works offline.
How accurate is it?
Very good on clean screenshots and printed documents; harder photos (angles, handwriting, low light) reduce accuracy. Sharp, straight-on images with good contrast recognise best.
Is it free and unlimited?
Yes — free, unlimited, no watermark, no sign-up. Recognise as many images as you like.
