FEATURES
JPEG only
This landing accepts JPEG/JPG. For a PNG, use PNG to Text. The extract is the Image to Text job.
Plain text
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.

JPEG to Text vs Image to Text
People search JPEG to text when the file extension is spelled JPEG. This page runs the same /image-to-text job as JPG to Text — 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.
