Private OCR tools that run in your browser
Extract text from screenshots, scans and photos privately in your browser. No uploads, no signup — OCR runs locally with WebAssembly.

Batch OCR

Extract text from images without uploading them
OCR Tools turns screenshots, scans and photos into editable text directly in your web browser. The image stays on your device while Tesseract.js runs optical character recognition locally with WebAssembly, so private documents, receipts and notes are not sent to a server.
The first run may download the OCR engine and selected language model. After that, your browser can reuse its cache, so future recognitions usually start faster. Begin with the image to text converter, choose a language and copy or download the extracted text.
