You get a .txt file. Image to Excel is the same OCR when you need a table.
Not JPEG to PDF
JPEG to PDF wraps photos in a PDF. This page reads the words.
Files stay local
OCR runs in your browser. We do not upload the image.
Honest OCR
Tesseract, not a certified reader. Skewed photos and handwriting will miss words.

Convert JPEG to Text vs Image to Text
People search convert JPEG to text when they want the convert phrasing with JPEG spelled out. This page runs the same /image-to-text OCR as JPEG to Text. It is not a second tool in the Tools grid.
It is not OCR PDF (that makes a scanned PDF searchable) and not PDF to TXT (that copies selectable PDF text). Use those when you already have a PDF.
JPEG/JPG only. For a PNG photo, use PNG to Text. We do not claim a certified reader.
