Frequently Asked Questions
What if my format isn't listed? ▼
If your browser can display the image, our tool can likely extract text from it. Tesseract.js supports all standard image formats. Just try it - there's no upload, so you'll know instantly if it works.
Does image format affect OCR accuracy? ▼
Image quality matters more than format. High-resolution images with clear, well-lit text will produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed JPEGs or low-resolution images for best accuracy.
Can I process multiple formats at once? ▼
Yes! You can drop a mix of JPG, PNG, PDF, and other formats all at once. Each image is processed individually and results are displayed for each file.
