What is Extract Text from Image?

This is a browser OCR tool. It reads printed characters in a photo or screenshot and turns them into text you can edit. Use it for documents, signs, or any picture that contains writing.

Privacy

Recognition runs in your browser. The image you choose is not sent to NEXNARA servers. The OCR engine and language files are loaded in the browser so the work can happen on your device.

Supported image formats

You can use JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20 MB. Other formats are not accepted. Very large pictures may be resized in memory before recognition so the browser stays responsive.

OCR accuracy

Results depend on the image. Clear, well-lit printed text works best. Small type, blur, handwriting, unusual fonts, or busy backgrounds often produce mistakes. Check anything important before you rely on it.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The image stays in your browser and is not uploaded to NEXNARA.

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Files larger than 20 MB are rejected.

Why is some text not recognized correctly?

OCR is imperfect. Handwriting, low contrast, skewed photos, and decorative fonts are common failure cases. A sharper, straighter crop usually helps.

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes. The tool works in modern mobile browsers. Processing a large photo may take longer on a phone than on a computer.

Which languages are supported?

Choose up to three languages from the OCR list. The site language and OCR languages are separate, so you can use NEXNARA in Korean and extract English and Korean from an image, for example.
