About Us

Why we built this

Most free "image to text" tools work the same way: you upload a picture to their server, their backend runs OCR, and your free usage is quietly capped at a handful of images a day while batch processing and extra languages sit behind a paywall — all while claiming your data is private. We wanted a tool that could make that privacy claim honestly, so we built one where there's nothing to claim: the image never leaves your device in the first place.

How it works

Image to Text runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js, a WebAssembly build of the open-source Tesseract OCR engine. When you drop in an image, paste one, or browse for a file, it's decoded and read on your own device — not uploaded anywhere. Because there's no server doing the work, there's no per-use cost to recoup, which is why the tool has no account, no daily limit, and no paid tier.

What we care about

• Honesty over false confidence. A blurry or low-quality result gets flagged, not presented as fact.
• No dark patterns. No fake urgency, no forced sign-up, no upsell modals.
• Privacy that's provable. Open your browser's Network tab while converting an image — you'll see nothing carrying image data leave your device.

Who's behind it

Image to Text is an independently run, single-purpose tool — not a venture-backed platform with a roadmap of upsells. It's kept intentionally small: one job, done well, for free.
