Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the text extraction?▼
The AI-powered OCR achieves over 97% accuracy on clean, printed text. Accuracy may be lower for handwriting, decorative fonts, or low-quality images. Uploading a higher resolution image and ensuring good contrast between text and background significantly improves results.
Can it read handwritten text?▼
Yes — the AI can read clearly legible handwriting, especially printed-style or block-letter writing. Cursive or heavily stylized handwriting reduces accuracy. For best handwriting results, use a well-lit, high-resolution photo.
Does it support multiple languages?▼
Yes. The OCR tool supports text in most Latin-alphabet languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more), as well as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and other scripts.
Are my images stored or shared?▼
No. Images are processed in memory via Cloudflare Workers AI and are never written to permanent storage. Your images are deleted immediately after text extraction. All data is transmitted securely over HTTPS.
What is the maximum image size?▼
The maximum file size is 5 MB. For best results, use images where the text is clearly visible and the resolution is at least 300 DPI for scanned documents.
