JPG to text
Upload a JPG file and FileTinker reads the text with on-device OCR. Pick your language, then copy or download the result — the engine runs in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.
The OCR engine downloads on first use (a few MB) and is then cached.

About JPG to text (OCR)
Converting JPG to text uses OCR — optical character recognition — to turn pictures of text into editable, searchable text. FileTinker runs the Tesseract engine as WebAssembly in your browser, so your JPG is recognised on your own device.
It works best on clear, well-lit, high-contrast text. Because it all runs in your browser, your JPG stays private — nothing is uploaded, and the engine is cached after the first use.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert JPG to text?
Choose your language, upload your JPG file, and FileTinker's in-browser OCR reads the text. Copy it or download it as a .txt file.
Which languages are supported?
English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, plus a combined English + Chinese mode. Pick the one that matches your JPG for the best accuracy.
Is the OCR accurate?
Accuracy is best on clear, high-resolution, high-contrast text. Stylised fonts and handwriting are harder. A sharp JPG gives the cleanest result.
Is my JPG uploaded?
No. Only the OCR engine and language model are downloaded; your JPG is processed entirely in your browser.
