Frequently Asked Questions
Does this OCR tool work on screenshots?
Yes. Clear screenshots are often among the best inputs because the text is usually sharp and high contrast.
Why is OCR accuracy lower on some images?
Blur, low contrast, angled photos, heavy compression, and decorative fonts can all reduce OCR accuracy.
Does the image get uploaded for OCR?
No. The OCR processing runs in your browser, so the image stays on your device during extraction.
