Is my image data private?

Yes. All image processing happens locally in your browser. Your images and the extracted text are never uploaded to or stored on any server. This makes it safe to use with sensitive documents, confidential contracts, and private photos.

Question 7

How accurate is the text extraction?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy depends on the image quality. For clear, high-resolution images with printed text, accuracy is typically very high. Handwritten text, low-resolution scans, or images with complex backgrounds may produce less accurate results. For best accuracy, use well-lit, high-contrast images.
