Free OCR Tool — Image to Text
Extract editable text from a photo or scanned image using Tesseract.js, an open-source OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine that runs directly in your browser. Upload an image, and AiFileStudio scans it and returns the text it finds in an editable box you can copy from.
For scanned documents with low contrast or a slight skew, try the Document Enhancement sliders (brightness, contrast, and B&W scan mode) before running OCR — cleaner input generally produces more accurate text extraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the OCR?
Accuracy depends heavily on image quality — clear, well-lit, high-contrast text recognizes best. Blurry, low-resolution, or heavily stylized text will produce more errors.
Does OCR work on handwriting?
Tesseract.js is optimized for printed text; handwriting recognition is unreliable and not recommended.
Is my image uploaded to a server for OCR?
No — Tesseract.js runs the recognition model entirely in your browser.
