About
Welcome to Text Scanner – Extract Text from Images Online for Free — a simple, secure, and free tool for recognizing text from images.
Unlike many online OCR services, Text Scanner – Extract Text from Images Online for Free does not require you to upload your images to any server. Everything happens directly in your browser.
We use Tesseract.js, a powerful open-source OCR engine that runs entirely in your browser. This means text extraction happens locally on your device, without any data leaving your computer.
To improve accuracy, images are processed using a WebAssembly build of OpenCV, a leading computer vision library. This allows for fast and efficient image cleaning, resizing, and filtering — all done directly on your machine.
Your images never get sent to our servers. From start to finish, the entire recognition process takes place in your own browser window.
