HandOCR
HandOCR converts text in images into editable text you can copy or download. The browser tool supports common image formats, batch processing, and language detection. It can help with screenshots, receipts, and scanned notes, provided you check the extracted result against the original before relying on it.
Upload, extract, and compare
The homepage describes selecting files, starting conversion, and reviewing text before copying or downloading it. It lists up to ten images or PDF files in the upload area, while the product FAQ confirms JPG, PNG, and WebP image support. Check the particular PDF tool and file limits if your source is a multipage document.
HandOCR says it can recognize legible handwriting, with better results on typed text. Keep that qualification in mind for rushed notes or a photograph with glare. Crop unnecessary surroundings and use a readable source where possible, then compare important names, dates, and numbers with the image.
An OCR output can make a document easier to search or quote, but it does not verify the document's claims. For receipts and invoices, confirm totals and identifiers before moving them into accounting records. For quotations, retain the original page so another reader can check the wording.
The free offer has a daily quota
The pricing page gives a more specific limit than the homepage's unlimited wording: ten free conversions per day without login, or thirty when logged in. Extra conversions use purchased credits after the free quota is exhausted.
Payments are described as one-time purchases without a monthly subscription. The listed entry package is 600 credits for $9.99. Image OCR costs five credits per image; PDF-to-text uses a different formula based on file size. Do not estimate a mixed document job using the image rate alone.
Batch processing can reduce the effort of submitting files separately, but check that each result belongs to the correct original. The pricing page gives inconsistent speed examples, so plan around your actual documents rather than a headline processing time.
Browser access does not mean local-only processing
Some homepage wording refers to local or secure processing, while the pricing FAQ explicitly says images are processed on the service's servers. Do not assume confidential files stay on your device merely because the interface runs in a browser.
The publisher says files are not stored permanently or shared. Review current privacy terms before uploading identity documents, contracts, or customer material, and avoid treating its absolute security language as an audited guarantee. Use a permitted sample first to check extraction quality before committing a larger or more sensitive set.
