About Us

Built for speed.
Designed for privacy.

Extracts Text is a free, open-source-powered utility that makes copying text from images as simple as selecting it. No signups, no server uploads, and no data compromises.

The Problem

Existing OCR tools force you to extract all text from an image. You then have to wade through large blocks of unformatted text to find the one line or code snippet you actually need. It is slow, clumsy, and wastes your time.

Our Solution

We overlay recognized text directly on top of the original image — similar to iOS Live Text or Google Lens. Tap individual words or drag to select lines, copy to clipboard, and you're done in seconds. The workflow is Paste → Select → Copy.

100% Client-Side Privacy

Your images, receipts, and sensitive documents never leave your browser. All OCR processing runs in your device's memory using Tesseract.js via WebAssembly and Web Workers. Zero server uploads, zero databases, and zero tracking.

100+ Supported Languages

Powered by Tesseract OCR, the most reliable open-source text recognition engine. Supports Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and more.
