Pro Tips
- •OCR works best on clear, high-contrast images with horizontal, printed text - handwriting and skewed photos reduce accuracy
- •Columns are detected by looking for gaps of two or more spaces between words - text without consistent spacing won't split into columns cleanly
- •Recognition runs the Tesseract OCR engine entirely in your browser as a WebAssembly module - the first run downloads the language data
- •Nothing is uploaded to a server - the image and extracted data stay on your device throughout

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the text extraction?
Accuracy depends heavily on image quality. Clear, high-resolution photos of printed text in a standard font typically recognize very well, while handwriting, low resolution, skewed angles, or unusual fonts reduce accuracy significantly.
How does column detection work?
This tool has no way to see the original layout of the image, so it approximates columns by splitting each recognized line wherever it finds two or more consecutive spaces. Text without consistent spacing between columns may not split as expected.
What Excel format does this create?
The tool generates a genuine .xlsx file (Office Open XML) using the SheetJS library, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Text recognition runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js, a WebAssembly build of the Tesseract OCR engine. Your image and the extracted data never leave your device.
Can it read handwriting?
Tesseract is optimized for printed text and generally performs poorly on handwriting. For the best results, use clear, printed or typed text.
