About these tools

Read the text out of a screenshot or photo, get the key points of a long PDF, see what changed between two PDFs, draft a meta description, or test a regular expression. Free, no sign-up, and no page limits.

Here’s what makes these different: most “AI” tools send your documents to a company’s servers. These don’t. Everything runs right on your device, so your files stay private.

Every tool works in any browser. Some have an extra AI step — like writing a summary in your own words — that uses a model built into Chrome and Edge on desktop. If your browser doesn’t have one, you still get everything else.

Text recognition is great on screenshots, scans, and clear photos. On blurry or unusual text, big cloud services can do better — so every result shows how confident it is.

Questions people ask

Is my file sent to an AI service?

No. Every tool here runs on your device, and the counter under each one shows 0 bytes sent while it works.

Why is there a download the first time?

The text reader needs to get onto your device to run there — about 4–7 MB, once per language. After that it’s saved for next time.

Which languages can it read?

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.

Is it as good as Google or Adobe?

On clear screenshots, scans, and photos, it’s close. On blurry or unusual text, big cloud services can do better.

Can it read handwriting?

Not reliably — it’s built for printed text.
