Is my image uploaded to an external server?
Your image is sent to our secure FastAPI backend server for Tesseract OCR processing. The file is permanently deleted immediately after the text extraction is complete. We do not store, log, or share any uploaded images.
What is image preprocessing and when should I use each mode?
Preprocessing improves OCR accuracy by cleaning up the image before analysis. 'Auto' (recommended) applies grayscale and sharpening for most images. 'Threshold' converts the image to pure black-and-white, which works best for high-contrast scanned documents. 'None' skips preprocessing for already-clean digital images.
Why is the OCR accuracy low for my image?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality. For best results: ensure the text is clearly visible, use high resolution (at least 150 DPI), avoid blurry or skewed images, and select the correct language. Try switching the preprocessing mode — 'Threshold' often works better for printed/scanned documents.
Is this OCR tool free to use?
