What Is OCR Image?

The OCR Image tool extracts editable text from image files, photos, and screenshots (PNG, JPG, and WEBP). Whether you have taken a smartphone photo of a printed document, snapped a whiteboard during a meeting, captured a screenshot of an uncopyable web page, or scanned a paper receipt, OCR Image converts those pixels into selectable digital text.

WayPDF processes image OCR locally using Tesseract.js inside a dedicated Web Worker thread. This ensures that heavy character recognition computation runs in the background without freezing your browser's user interface.

With support for English, Hindi, Bengali, and Odia, WayPDF delivers high-accuracy script recognition right on your device, with one-click clipboard copying and zero server uploads.
