About OCR

OCR pulls the text out of an image or scan using a hosted vision model, returning clean plain text you can copy, search, or feed into other tools. Reach for it when a screenshot, photographed page, or scanned document has text you'd rather not retype. It's the higher-accuracy option for messy scans, skewed photos, and unusual fonts, and costs 1 credit per run.

Privacy: OCR runs entirely on your device. Files you provide never leave your browser — no uploads, no server, no tracking. The page works offline once loaded.

Common uses

  • Lift the text off a screenshot of a slide deck so you can quote it in your notes
  • Digitize a photographed page from a book or printed report into editable text
  • Extract a serial number or address from a photo of a label or receipt
  • Convert a scanned contract image into searchable text for a document archive
  • Pull text out of an infographic or poster that was only shared as a JPEG
  • Feed the extracted text straight into translate or summarize for a follow-up step

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats does it accept?

PNG, JPEG, and WebP. The output is plain text, so it drops straight into any text editor or chains into the other text tools.

How is this different from the free OCR tool?

The free OCR runs entirely in your browser and is fine for clean, high-contrast images. This hosted version uses a vision model that reads noisy scans, skewed angles, and tricky fonts far more reliably.

Does my image leave my device?

Yes. As a Pro tool it sends the image to a hosted vision model to do the extraction. If you need a no-upload option, use the free in-browser OCR instead.

Will it keep the original layout?

It returns the readable text, not a pixel-perfect reproduction of columns and tables. For tabular data from a PDF, use a dedicated table extractor.

What does each run cost?

1 credit per image.
