Frequently Asked Questions

What types of images work best for OCR?

OCR accuracy is best with high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher), good contrast between text and background, horizontal text orientation, and clear fonts. Handwriting, very small text, and low-quality photos may produce less accurate results.

Which image formats are supported?

The tool supports JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP image formats. For scanned documents, PNG or high-quality JPG gives the best recognition accuracy.

Can it recognize text in languages other than English?

Yes. Tesseract.js supports over 100 languages including Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, and many more. Select your language before processing for best results.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Tesseract.js runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to any external server.
