Why PNG is useful for OCR
PNG preserves sharp edges without JPEG compression artifacts, which often makes it a strong source format for screenshots, UI labels and digitally generated documents.
For very large screenshots, crop to the relevant section first. Larger letters and a focused recognition area usually reduce stray text and improve reading order.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Are transparent PNG files supported?+
Yes, but text with low contrast against transparency may be harder to read. Placing it over a solid contrasting background can improve results.
Are my files uploaded?+
OCR runs in your browser. Your file is only sent to a configured cloud provider if you explicitly choose a labeled AI repair action.
Does it work on phones?+
Yes. You can upload a photo from a phone or tablet, although a desktop screen can be more convenient for reviewing long results.
