OLOCR

OLOCR is an online AI OCR tool that converts images and PDFs into usable, editable outputs—right in your browser. Extract text from screenshots, receipts, scans, posters, and other document images, or pull text from scanned PDFs. For structured content, it can also convert table screenshots into Excel spreadsheets.

Key features include live processing with no downloads or setup, support for many file types (including JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, TIFF, and GIF/WebP), and batch processing for multiple images or PDF pages. You can choose the output that matches your workflow: copy clean text, export to Word (.docx), create searchable PDFs by adding a searchable text layer, or convert tables to standard .xlsx files.

OLOCR also offers AI Text Optimization to help improve recognition results after extraction, plus an image translation workflow. It supports 100+ languages, making it suitable for multilingual documents and CJK scripts.
