QuickImageToText

Yes, QuickImageToText is 100% free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers. You get full access to all features without any limitations.

• No registration required: Start using immediately without creating an account
• Unlimited usage: Process as many images as you need, whenever you need
• No watermarks: Your extracted text is clean and ready to use
• All features included: Batch processing, multiple formats, 19 languages - all free
• No trials or limits: This isn't a limited trial - it's genuinely free forever

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
• 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)
• Screenshots: From any device or application
• Scanned documents: From flatbed or portable scanners

File size limit: Up to 10 MB per image, and up to 20 images per batch.

Accuracy depends on the image, not on a fixed percentage. Sharp, well-lit images of printed text in a standard font give the best results. Expect more corrections for blurry or skewed photos, low contrast, decorative fonts, complex layouts and handwriting.

Tip: high-resolution images with even lighting and good contrast give the cleanest text.

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

• Add up to 20 images at once (up to 10 MB each)
• All images process in parallel for maximum speed
• Download results individually or merge into one combined file
• Output: copy each result or download it as a .txt file
• Perfect for: Multi-page contracts, receipt collections, business card stacks, book chapters

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

How to check: open your browser's developer tools (Network tab) while extracting. Your image is never sent anywhere.

QuickImageToText reads text in 19 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Hindi, Bengali, Thai. Choose the language of your text in the selector above the upload box.

Tip: The first time you use a language, its recognition data (a few MB) is downloaded once and then cached by your browser.

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.
