Absolutely. All OCR processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your images are never uploaded to any server. The language models are downloaded once and cached locally in your browser, meaning the tool even works offline after the first use.
The tool supports 11 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, and Russian. Language models are downloaded on-demand when you first use each language and are cached for future use.
The tool supports all common image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, and BMP. You can upload images up to 20MB in size. For best OCR results, use clear, high-contrast images with legible text.
The first time you use a language, the tool downloads its trained language model (about 10-15MB depending on the language). This model is cached in your browser, so subsequent recognitions are much faster. The progress bar shows both the model download and text recognition phases.
