Why is it safe? Many sites upload your file to their servers. Not here: everything happens in your own browser. Your file is never sent to the internet and stored nowhere — because it is never received. It even works offline.

How it works (3 steps)

Upload the image (or a scanned PDF).
OCR recognizes the text on the device.
Copy the text or download it.

Tips
