Learn about this tool
To convert an image to text, upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, or TIFF image up to 256 MB. The tool runs OCR and returns the result in TXT format. You can choose Vietnamese, English, or both; skewed images can be corrected before recognition.
Accuracy depends on the sharpness, lighting, font, and language in the image. Tables, handwriting, and complex backgrounds are often easily misrecognized. You should cross-check the TXT file with the original image. The tool only recognizes text, it does not translate content.
