Image to Text Converter FAQ

Our image to text converter provides high accuracy (95%+) for clear, well-formatted text. Accuracy depends on image quality, font clarity, and document condition. Best results with high-contrast, straight text.

We support English and 100+ other languages including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and many more. The OCR engine automatically detects the language in most cases.

You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, and PDF files for image to text conversion. For PDFs, each page is processed individually. Maximum file size is 10MB per upload.

Our image to text converter is optimized for printed text. Handwritten text recognition is limited and may not provide reliable results. For best accuracy, use clear, typed, or printed documents.

You can upload and process up to 10 files simultaneously with our image to text online tool. Multi-page PDFs count as single files. Processing time depends on file size and complexity.

Uploaded images are temporarily stored on our servers for 24 hours to enable processing and sharing. You can delete your files at any time using the delete option in your dashboard. Files are automatically removed after 24 hours for privacy and storage management.

OCR accuracy is significantly influenced by several image quality factors. Resolution matters—images with at least 300 DPI provide the best results for printed text. Contrast and lighting are critical; high-contrast text on plain backgrounds (like black text on white) works best. Image clarity affects performance—avoid blurry, skewed, or distorted images. Text size should be readable; very small fonts (below 10pt) may reduce accuracy. Noise and artifacts from compression or scanning can interfere with detection. For optimal results, use well-lit, straight-on photos of clean documents, or scan at high resolution with proper contrast settings.

Yes! Our image to text converter supports batch processing of up to 10 images simultaneously. Simply upload multiple files—JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, or TIFF—and the tool will process each one independently. Multi-page PDFs count as single files and are processed page-by-page automatically. Processing time varies based on file size, image complexity, and selected language/output format. Batch processing is ideal for digitizing multi-page documents, converting stacks of receipts or invoices, archiving handwritten notes, or processing screenshots in bulk. Results are displayed sequentially, and you can copy or download text from each image individually. For large-scale document digitization projects, consider using the TSV or JSON output formats for easier data management.
