Why use Image OCR?
- Keeping the source untouched is safer when the result may need to be checked or redone.
- The finished file can be shared or archived without changing the original document.
- The tool removes a repetitive manual step while leaving the original available for comparison.
- A separate output file makes review and approval easier before the result is published or sent onward.
What changes?
Extract text from images. The result is a new file, not an in-place edit, which keeps the original available for comparison.
Processing and limits
- Processing

- Engine
- Sharp and ImageMagick
- Maximum size
- 100 MB per file on the server.
- Batch support
- Yes, multiple files can be queued; completed results can be downloaded as a ZIP.
- Quality controls
- No quality slider. The output follows the fixed conversion path.
The file is processed on the server because the conversion requires a server-side engine or a utility operation. The operation is selected by the tool and is not a generic pair conversion.
- Complex files may take longer and can hit processing time limits.
- Encrypted, damaged, or unusual IMAGE/* files may fail or need manual review.
- Some source features do not have a direct equivalent in the output.
Platform compatibility
The operation runs in a browser and returns a downloadable file. Open it in an application that supports text, and keep the source for comparison.
When not to convert
- If the file contains sensitive data, review the processing model before uploading it to a server.
- Do not convert when the original IMAGE/* must remain the only editable or archival copy.
- Skip the conversion when the destination already accepts IMAGE/* and no compatibility problem exists.
