Question 1

Is this OCR tool really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no signup, payment, or usage quota. Images can be up to 10MB, and processing speed depends on your device.

Question 2

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything runs directly on your device. Your images are never sent to any server.

Question 3

What image formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP are supported up to 10MB. HEIC/HEIF is not yet supported; export iPhone photos as JPEG or choose Camera > Formats > Most Compatible.

Question 4

How accurate is the OCR?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-resolution images with good contrast and dark text on a light background produce the best results.

Question 5

Can it read handwriting?

Accepted Answer

It works best with printed text. Handwriting recognition is possible but less accurate. For study notes, try to use clearly printed or typed content for best results.

What can I do with the extracted text?
