JPG to TXT Converter

Summary

This tool uses Tesseract.js to run optical character recognition (OCR) directly in your browser, extracting text from any JPG image without sending the file to a server. Simply drag and drop your image, wait for processing, review the extracted text, and download it as a .txt file. It works best on clear, high-contrast images with standard fonts.

How it works

1. Drag and drop a JPG (or JPEG) onto the upload area, or click to browse.
2. Tesseract.js loads the OCR engine locally in your browser.
3. OCR runs client-side — your image never leaves your device.
4. Extracted text appears in the text area for review and editing.
5. Click "Download TXT" to save the result as a plain .txt file.
