Which images work best for OCR?

Sharp, high-contrast images with readable text work best. Blurry images, stylized fonts, and low contrast can reduce OCR accuracy.

Does image to text keep the original formatting?

No. This tool returns plain text. It is designed for extraction and editing, not for rebuilding the original visual layout.

Is OCR processed in the browser?

No. The image is sent to the server, processed there, and returned as extracted text and a TXT download.

What to expect from OCR output

The server reads the visible text in your image and returns it as plain text. Clean, high-contrast images work best. You should still proofread names, numbers, and line breaks before using the result in production.
