Is this image to text converter free?

Yes. The tool is free to use online and does not require sign-up.

How do I extract text from an image?

Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP image, click Extract Text, then copy the editable text from the result panel.

Are my uploaded images stored?

No. The OCR process runs in your browser for this MVP, and uploaded images are not stored on a TextRepeat.org server.

Which image formats are supported?

The MVP supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP images up to 10 MB.

Does it work with screenshots and photos?

Yes. It works best with clear screenshots, scanned pages, and well-lit photos where the text is sharp and readable.

Why did the tool miss some text?

OCR accuracy depends on image quality. Low resolution, blur, handwriting, unusual fonts, shadows, or rotated text can make recognition harder.

Can it convert PDF files to text?

PDF OCR is not included in the MVP. For now, export or screenshot a page as an image and upload that image.
