Frequently asked questions

Can OCR detect the document language automatically?

Yes. Automatic mode checks the supported languages locally in your browser. Choosing a specific language can be faster when you already know it.

What files can I use here?

Reads JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP and 2 more formats. As many files at once as you like.

What do I get back?

You get TXT.

Does the file lose quality?

Your file is read, not changed. The original stays exactly as it was.

When does it not work?

The first run downloads a small model to your device. After that it works offline.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The whole job runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your file never travels over the network, so there is nothing for us to store, read or lose.
