Text Extractor (OCR) FAQs
Common questions about converting images to text.
How accurate is the text extraction?
Accuracy is generally high for clear, printed text. It depends on image quality, text clarity, font, and language. Complex layouts or poor quality images may result in lower accuracy.
What languages are supported?
Our tool supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and more. Use the 'Auto Detect' option or select a specific language for best results.
Can it read handwriting?
Handwriting recognition is more challenging than printed text and may have lower accuracy. Clear, standard handwriting works better than cursive or messy script.
Does it preserve the original formatting?
The tool primarily focuses on extracting raw text. It attempts to preserve basic paragraph breaks, but complex formatting like tables, columns, or font styles are generally not retained.
What image formats can I upload?
Common image formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, and sometimes PDFs are supported. Check the uploader for specific limits.
Is there a limit on the amount of text per image?
While there isn't a strict text limit, extremely text-dense images might take longer to process. Image file size limits still apply.
How can I save the extracted text?
You can copy the text directly to your clipboard, download it as a CSV file for spreadsheets, or export it as a text file for easy reference and sharing.
