Why is it free? Client-side processing means we have no expensive server costs. Your browser does all the work, so we can offer the service at no charge.

Client-side processing means all OCR work happens entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. Your images never leave your device.

• Ultimate privacy: Your images and extracted text never upload to our servers
• Works offline: After initial page load, you can disconnect internet and keep working
• Faster processing: No upload/download delays - instant results
• No file size limits: Process large images without worrying about upload restrictions
• Technical proof: Open browser DevTools Network tab and watch - no file uploads occur

This is why we can guarantee complete privacy - we literally don't have access to your data because it never reaches us.

We support all common image formats and PDF files:

• Standard formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP
• Modern formats: WebP, HEIF, HEIC (iPhone photos)
• Professional formats: TIFF, TIF
• Documents: PDF files (image-based PDFs)

File size limit: Up to 10MB per individual image, or 200MB total when batch processing up to 20 images.

Accuracy depends on image quality and text complexity. Here are realistic expectations:

• High-quality printed text (300+ DPI): 98-99% accuracy
• Standard quality scans (150-200 DPI): 95-97% accuracy
• Clear smartphone photos: 92-96% accuracy
• Blurry or low-contrast images: 85-92% accuracy (still usable with minor corrections)
• Handwritten text (legible): 75-85% accuracy (requires editing)
• Stylized or decorative fonts: 80-90% accuracy

Pro tip: For best results, use high-resolution images with good lighting and contrast. Our AI can handle imperfect images, but quality input = quality output.

Yes! Batch processing is one of QuickImageToText's most powerful features.

• Upload up to 20 images simultaneously (200MB total)
• All images process in parallel for maximum speed
• Download results individually or merge into one combined file
• Supported output formats: TXT, DOCX, or PDF for each image
• Perfect for: Multi-page contracts, receipt collections, business card stacks, book chapters

Example: Upload 20 pages of a scanned document, get all text extracted in under 2 minutes, download as a single Word document. Beats typing manually by 99%!

Absolutely not. We physically cannot store your images because they never reach our servers.

• Client-side processing: Everything happens in your browser
• No server uploads: Images stay on your device
• No databases: We don't have anywhere to store images even if we wanted to
• No logs: We don't log or track individual file uploads
• Automatic deletion: Images exist only in browser RAM and are deleted when you close the tab

Verification: Disconnect your internet, upload an image, extract text. It still works - proof your data never left your device.

• Download complete: The OCR engine downloads to your browser (one-time)
• Go offline: Turn on airplane mode or disconnect internet
• Keep working: Upload and process images as normal
• Why this works: Client-side processing means no server connection needed

Perfect for: Traveling, areas with poor connectivity, or situations requiring complete data isolation.

Follow these tips to maximize accuracy:

• Use high resolution: 300 DPI or higher for scans, 8MP+ for photos
• Good lighting: Natural indirect light works best. Avoid harsh shadows or glare
• Straight alignment: Keep camera perpendicular to the document. Avoid angled shots
• High contrast: Dark text on light background (or vice versa)
• Focus properly: Ensure text is sharp and readable
• Clean background: Flat surface, no clutter, no patterns behind text
• For handwriting: Use dark ink (black/blue), write clearly, avoid cursive if possible

Pro tip: If possible, scan documents instead of photographing them. Scanners produce higher quality, more consistent images.
