How to Extract Text from Images & PDFs
SmartKit's Free OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool allows you to convert scanned documents, photos, and PDFs into editable text instantly. Unlike other online converters, our OCR engine runs entirely in your web browser. This means your sensitive documents are never uploaded to our servers, guaranteeing 100% data privacy.
1. Select Document Type
Choose between standard paragraphs, data tables (invoices), or scattered text to help the AI engine understand your image layout.
2. Start AI Scan
Our system will process the image using your computer's CPU. If you upload a multi-page PDF, it will automatically scan all pages.
3. Export Text
Once the text is extracted, you can copy it to your clipboard or download it directly as a Word Document, PDF, or Plain Text file.
Why use our Image to Text tool?
- Absolute Privacy: Your files never leave your device. The OCR processing happens locally in your browser.
- High Accuracy: Powered by the industry-leading Tesseract AI engine for English text recognition.
- Multi-Page PDF Support: You don't need to split your PDFs. We will scan every page and combine the text for you automatically.
- Auto-Clean Feature: Our system can automatically filter out garbage text generated by photos, logos, and borders in your documents.
