How to extract text from an image with OCR online | Img2Web
Prepare photos, screenshots and documents to improve browser-based text recognition.
Prepare the image before OCR
OCR works best when text is sharp, straight and well lit. Blurry photos, hard shadows and very small letters reduce recognition accuracy.
Before extracting text, crop unnecessary borders and increase contrast if the document is too light or too dark.
How to improve the result
After recognition, review names, numbers, accents and line breaks. These details often need human checking, especially in receipts and scanned documents.
Use one image at a time when the document has a lot of text.
Avoid tilted photos or strong perspective.
Prefer PNG or JPG files with clear resolution.
OCR and sensitive data
When a file contains personal data, local processing can reduce exposure. Still review the extracted text before pasting it into systems and remove details that do not need to be shared.
