How to use image / scan to text
1. Choose images or scans
Select up to 20 PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF files. The combined batch may contain up to 100 pages or images.
2. Choose a supported language
Use the language selector and check the support list. Mixed supported languages use the same multilingual model.
3. Recognize and review text
Select Recognize text. Review the result and any confidence warning, then download the plain-text file.
What this tool preserves
Uses PP-OCRv6 for English, supported Latin-script languages, Chinese and Japanese. Urdu and Arabic are not supported. Recognition is imperfect; review names, numbers and complex layouts.
Privacy and practical limits
Files stay on your device. Each input must be under 150 MB. Processing speed and memory use depend on your device. Keep original documents; PDF transformations do not preserve digital-signature validity.

Questions & answers
Can I extract text from screenshots and photos?
Yes. Open JPG, PNG or WebP images, or a scanned PDF. Clear, upright printed text works best. The result is plain text, not a Word file or a reconstructed table.
Can I process several images together?
Yes. Select up to 20 files, with no more than 100 combined pages or images per run. Each input is labeled in the downloaded text.
Will my image be uploaded to an OCR service?
No. The recognition engine and models download from Feemag, and recognition runs on your device. The first use requires a model download.
