Why Convert JPG to TXT?

Retyping one receipt is annoying; retyping fifty is a lost afternoon.

OCR reads the printed text out of a JPG photo and hands it back as plain text you can copy, search, and edit immediately, which is the whole point of digitizing paper in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best JPG quality for OCR?
Resolution matters most. Scan or photograph documents at 300 DPI or higher; blur and poor lighting cause most recognition errors.
Can it read text from photos of signs or storefronts?
Yes, as long as the text is clearly legible and reasonably large in the frame. Perspective distortion, low lighting, and motion blur reduce accuracy.
Does it support multiple text columns?
Simple layouts convert best. Newspaper-style or magazine columns can merge or jumble the reading order; that is the honest limit of browser OCR.
Is there a file size limit for the OCR?
The browser OCR supports JPG files up to 25 MB. For large high-resolution scans, TeraConvert Desktop removes this limit.
Is my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 25 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.

Digitizing a large document archive?

TeraConvert Desktop batch-converts a whole stack of scanned JPGs to text files with Tesseract and your system language packs.
