## What is OCR Image?

OCR Image is a free online image tool from Farvixo that lets you AI-powered OCR — handwriting, tables, IDs, 150+ languages, batch export & live preview — 100% private. The image is decoded, processed and saved inside your browser, so it never leaves your device. Output carries no watermark, keeps full resolution, and you can process a whole batch at once without an account.

## How to use OCR Image

1. **Add your images** — Drop your images into OCR Image or click to browse. JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF are all accepted, and nothing leaves your device.
2. **Adjust quality and size** — Choose dimensions, format and quality. OCR Image previews the output next to the original so you can judge the trade-off before saving.
3. **Download the result** — Save the processed image at full resolution. No watermark is added and there is no daily cap — use OCR Image as much as you like.

## Use cases

- Shrinking photos to meet an upload limit on a form, marketplace or job portal
- Web developers preparing assets in modern formats for faster page loads
- Social media managers producing correctly sized images per platform
- Anyone who wants EXIF and GPS data stripped before sharing a photo

## Tips

- Re-encoding drops the original EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates — useful for privacy, but keep an original if you need that data.
- Never upscale a raster image to hit a size requirement; it invents detail and produces a larger file that looks worse.
- When a form specifies both pixel dimensions and a KB limit, set the dimensions first, then lower quality until the size fits.

## Common problems

- **Transparency turned black after converting to JPG** — JPEG cannot store an alpha channel. Pick a background colour before converting, or export to PNG or WebP instead.
- **The output is larger than the original** — You converted an already-compressed file to a lossless format such as PNG. Choose WebP or AVIF, or keep the original format and lower the quality.
- **The result looks soft or blocky** — Quality is set too low for the amount of detail. Raise it in steps of five and compare — most photos hold up until roughly 70.

## FAQ

### What kinds of images work best?

Straight, well-lit, reasonably high-resolution images of printed text. Accuracy falls with blur, glare, skew and low contrast. Photographing a page flat under even light does more for the result than any setting in the tool.

### Which languages are supported?

Over 150, including English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Arabic, Chinese and most European languages. Select the right one first — recognition accuracy drops sharply when the engine is searching for the wrong script.

### Can it read handwriting?

Sometimes, and not reliably. OCR is trained mainly on printed type. Neat block capitals often work; ordinary cursive usually does not. Check anything handwritten rather than trusting it.

### Does it preserve tables and layout?

Table structure is detected and reproduced where the image makes it clear — ruled lines and consistent column spacing help a great deal. Complex nested layouts come out as text in reading order and need tidying.

### Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Recognition runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so screenshots containing personal information, ID cards and private documents stay on your device.

### Can I process several images at once?

Yes. Add a batch and each is recognised in turn, with the results available together for copy or export.
