Image to Text FAQs

How does image-to-text extraction work?

This tool uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) in your browser to detect readable text in an image, then shows it so you can copy or reuse it.

Which images work best for OCR?

Clear, high-contrast images with upright text work best. JPEG, PNG, and similar common image formats are supported.

Can I edit the extracted text?

After extraction, you can copy the text to your clipboard and paste it into any editor for review or formatting.

Is my image uploaded for OCR?

No. OCR runs locally in your browser. Your image stays on your device and is never sent to File Genie servers.
