Up to 10 images at once
Add up to 10 images or 100 MB, then stop, continue, retry, remove, and edit each result. Images are opened one at a time, so a big batch does not fill up your device’s memory.
Private, local OCR

Fast, or High accuracy
Fast keeps the first download small. High accuracy reads letters more carefully; it is an extra download that starts only if you choose it.
English and Chinese, even mixed
It reads English, simplified and traditional Chinese, and lines that mix them, with no language to pick. (The model is PP-OCRv6.)
Text, tables, and a ZIP
Edit each result as plain text or as a table (in Markdown). Download one result, or all the finished ones together as a ZIP made on your device.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Does BrowserOCR upload my images?
No. Opening the image, finding and reading the text, editing, and making the ZIP all happen in your browser.
Which image formats and batch limits work?
Choose, drop, or paste up to 10 JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, HEIC, or HEIF images. Each image can be up to 50 MB and the queue can be up to 100 MB.
What is High accuracy mode?
It swaps in a larger model that reads letters more carefully (a 21 MB download). Switching clears the current results and reads your images again.
Can I use it offline?
Yes, once you have used it online and your browser has saved what it needs.
