Our free OCR converter uses Tesseract.js, a powerful open-source OCR engine that runs directly in your browser. Simply upload an image, and the tool analyzes the pixels to recognize characters and words, converting them to plain text. All processing happens on your device, ensuring privacy and speed.

How many languages does this free OCR converter support?

This free OCR tool supports over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and many more.

Is there a file size limit or usage limit for this OCR tool?

No! This is a completely free OCR converter with no file size limits, no usage limits, and no registration required.
