What is Optical Character Recognition (OCR)?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that analyzes an image and extracts the readable text from it. FileForge brings this powerful technology directly into your web browser, allowing you to instantly convert screenshots, scanned documents, and photos into editable text.

How to Convert Images to Text for Free

Drop any image file (JPG, PNG, WebP) into the tool above. Our local OCR engine will scan the image, identify characters, and reconstruct the text layout. You can then copy the extracted text to your clipboard with a single click, completely bypassing the need to manually transcribe documents.

Why Privacy Matters for OCR Tools

People frequently use OCR for sensitive documents like medical records, invoices, or ID cards. Uploading these to cloud-based OCR services is a privacy nightmare. With FileForge, the text extraction happens entirely offline on your device, ensuring zero data leakage.
