Privacy Policy
Our Picture to Text tool provides a free, public service for extracting text from images. Utilizing high-performance transformer models, the tool automatically detects and scans optical characters in over 100 languages, eliminating the need for manual language selection.
Data Collection and Processing
When you upload an image for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing, the data is handled via memory reference. We do not store physical files on our servers. Once the image-to-text conversion is complete, the source data is immediately and automatically purged from our system.
Data Protection and Retention
To ensure your protection, all images are deleted automatically upon processing. While a temporary output file is generated to display your results, these files are cleared on a strict daily schedule. We maintain a rigorous no-sharing policy: your images, extracted text, and metadata are never sold or shared with third parties.
Cookies and Tracking
This OCR tool does not require user registration or login. Consequently, we do not cache personal user details. We utilize the Laravel framework, which may deploy essential cookies to optimize page load speeds, prefetch styles, and manage fonts. Additionally, third-party services—such as Google AdSense for advertisements and Cloudflare Turnstile for security—may use cookies to ensure a safe and functional browsing experience.
AI Training and Model Development
We respect the intellectual property and privacy of your documents. We do not use your uploaded images or extracted text to train generative AI or any other agentic machine learning models. Your content remains your own.
