How to Extract Text from an Image

Upload your image by dragging it into the upload area or clicking to browse. Select the text language, then click "Extract Text." The OCR engine processes your image entirely in your browser and displays the extracted text in seconds.

What Types of Images Work Best?

High-contrast images with clear, printed text give the best results. Screenshots, scanned documents, and photos of books or signs work well. Handwritten text, blurry images, or very small text may produce less accurate results.

Is My Image Data Private?

Yes. The OCR processing happens entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your image is never uploaded to any server. This makes TheToolly one of the most private OCR tools available online.
