Frequently asked questions

Is this image to text converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how often you use it.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Every conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server or stored anywhere but your device.

Can it read handwriting?

It handles clear handwriting reasonably well; for messy handwriting or very low-quality photos, try Image to Text (AI) instead.

Does this work on mobile?
