Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work offline? ▼

Once the page has loaded, the OCR functionality works offline. The processing happens entirely on your device. You only need internet to initially load the page.

Why is it slower on my phone? ▼

Mobile devices have less processing power and RAM than desktop computers. For large images or batch processing, we recommend using a desktop computer. Smaller images work great on mobile.

Can I use this on a work computer? ▼

Yes! Since nothing is uploaded to external servers, this tool is safe for corporate environments where you can't install software or upload files to third-party services.
