🔍 Image OCR — read the text in any image
Give it links to images. Get back the text in them, in English, Japanese, or both, with a confidence score. No API key, no setup.
What it does
- 🖼️ Works with PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP and GIF by URL
- 🌏 English and Japanese (vertical Japanese is available as
jpn_vert, but results are not guaranteed) - 📊 Confidence score (0 to 100) for each image, so you can spot poor results
- 💸 Pay only when text is found: failed links and images with no text are free
Input
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
urls | Links to images (http or https) |
language | eng, jpn, jpn_vert or eng+jpn (default eng+jpn) |
Output
One row per link:
If a link cannot be read, the row has ok: false and an error that says why.
Good to know
- Powered by the open-source Tesseract OCR engine. Clear printed text reads best. Handwriting, very small text and busy photos read poorly.
- Limits: 30 MB per image, 200 links per run, about 5 minutes per run. Links not reached are listed so you can run them again.
- Private and internal addresses are refused. It does not log in to websites or solve CAPTCHAs: links must be publicly reachable.
- Only process images you have the right to use.
