FAQ

Good to know.

How do I convert an image to text?
To convert an image to text, drop a JPG, PNG, or screenshot onto the Pixasur image to text tool and it runs OCR in your browser to pull out the words. The recognized text appears in an editable box within a few seconds, ready to copy or download as a .txt file.
Is the image to text tool free?
Yes, the Pixasur image to text tool is completely free with no signup, no subscription, and no watermark. There is no limit on how many images you convert.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No, the image to text tool runs entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded and stay on your device. The OCR engine is downloaded to your browser once and then processes each image locally.
Does the image to text tool support Hindi and other languages?
Yes, the image to text tool recognizes both English and Hindi (Devanagari) and can load additional languages like Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Chinese on demand. You pick the language before running OCR so the correct model is used.
What image formats and quality work best for OCR?
The image to text tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP, and works best on clear, high-contrast printed or digital text at 300 DPI or higher. Blurry, skewed, or handwritten text lowers accuracy, so a sharp screenshot or scan gives the cleanest result.
Can I extract text from a screenshot on my phone?
Yes, the image to text tool works on phones and tablets, so you can drop in a screenshot or camera photo and get editable text back. It runs in the mobile browser with no app to install.
