How to Extract Text from Images Online

  1. Upload your file — drag and drop an image (PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP) or a scanned PDF.
  2. OCR processing — Tesseract.js runs optical character recognition directly in your browser to detect and extract text.
  3. Copy or download — review the extracted text, copy it to your clipboard, or download it as a .txt file.

Why Luleit's OCR is Different

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my file go when I run OCR on it?+

Nowhere. OCR happens in your browser using JavaScript (Tesseract.js) — your file never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file and the extracted text are gone from memory; we have no copy.

Is this OCR tool really free, with no catch?+

Yes — no signup, no email required, no watermarks, no page limits, no daily quota, and no upsell for a paid tier. The tool runs entirely in your browser using free, open-source JavaScript libraries, so we have no server costs to recover. Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

How accurate is the recognition?+

For clear, high-resolution scans of standard fonts, Tesseract typically reaches 95–99% accuracy. Lower-quality scans, handwriting, or unusual fonts reduce accuracy. Higher resolution input (300+ DPI) helps significantly.

What Users Are Saying

"Luleit is a lifesaver for legal docs. Knowing that my PDFs are processed entirely locally in the browser and never uploaded is a massive compliance win. No file leaks, no account needed, super fast."

Sarah K.

"Outstanding speed and absolute privacy. I use it daily to compress medical records. Extremely secure and HIPAA compliant by design!"

David M.

Healthcare Administrator

"Unbelievably simple. No sign-up, no watermark, and the Chrome extension makes it a one-click launch from my browser toolbar. Best PDF utility out there."
