Why this tool is useful
Copy text from a screenshot, photographed note, scanned receipt or image-only document while keeping unpublished pixels on the current device.
Local File Tools · runs locally
Private Image to Text OCR
Recognize English text in a signature-verified JPEG, PNG, WebP or BMP image with a pinned local OCR worker and no image upload.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
Files and capture streams stay on this device. Processing uses browser APIs only; nothing is uploaded to YTSave, the media API or a proxy.
How it works
The browser verifies the image signature and dimensions, then starts a pinned Tesseract.js Web Worker with a locally hosted English model. The worker is terminated immediately after the bounded recognition job.
Practical example
Choose a clear PNG screenshot, select Sparse text for labels spread across the screen, review the confidence and extracted characters, then download UTF-8 text.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
