Structured OCR shouldn’t be a premium feature

Many converters give plain text away and charge extra for formatted output. On ImagesTo, headings, lists, tables and every export are part of the free tool — because they are the tool.

More than OCR

Other tools give you characters. ImagesTo gives you a usable document.

Structure detection

Recognises headings, paragraphs and lists from text size, spacing and markers.

Table recognition

Rebuilds rows and columns from aligned text instead of one long list of cells.

Reading order

Follows multi-column pages column by column, the way a person reads them.

Confidence checking

Underlines uncertain words and shows exactly where they are in the image.

Many languages

More than 20 languages, including right-to-left scripts like Arabic and Urdu.

Flexible exports

Formatted text, plain text, Markdown, HTML, JSON, Word, PDF and CSV.

No OCR tool is 100% accurate. ImagesTo is built for high-accuracy extraction and shows a confidence score with uncertain words underlined, so you only need to check the spots that matter.

Your images are yours

Processed in your browser

Text recognition runs on your device. Images you drop, paste or photograph are not uploaded to our server.

Nothing stored

Results live in this browser tab only. Close it and they are gone.

No account required

No sign-up and no email address needed.

Never sold or shared

We never receive your images, so there is nothing to sell or share.

The first time, your browser downloads the OCR engine and language files from a public CDN. If you use “Paste image URL” and the other site blocks direct access, our server fetches that one image and passes it straight to your browser without saving it.

Frequently asked questions

Is ImagesTo really free?

Yes. Every feature on this page — structured output, batch conversion and every export format — is free. There is no paid tier, no premium mode and no account.

Does ImagesTo preserve formatting?

It rebuilds the document structure it can see: headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, simple tables and reading order. It does not copy fonts or colours — the goal is clean, editable structure you can paste anywhere.

Can ImagesTo identify headings like H1 and H2?

An image contains no HTML tags, so headings are inferred from what is visible — mainly text size, spacing and capitalisation compared with the body text. Results are labelled “Detected as H1” and you can change any level with one click.

Can it extract handwritten text?

The current engine is built for printed and on-screen text. Very neat handwriting sometimes works, but results are unreliable, so we do not advertise handwriting support yet.

Are my images uploaded or stored?

No. Text recognition runs inside your browser, so images you drop, paste or photograph are never uploaded to our server. Your browser downloads the OCR engine and language data once. Only the optional “Paste image URL” feature may ask our server to download a remote image for you, which is relayed to your browser and not saved.

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP in every modern browser. HEIC photos work in browsers that can open HEIC, such as Safari.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes. Add several images and they are processed one after another. You can view each result separately or combine them into one document.

Is OCR always accurate?

No OCR system is perfect. ImagesTo shows a confidence score and underlines words it is unsure about, so you can check just those spots. Sharp, well-lit, straight images give the best results.
