Privacy and File Processing

Browser-local processing

Image OCR keeps its JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates TXT, or Copyable text for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.

Supported Inputs and Outputs

Input

  • JPG
  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • WEBP

Output

  • TXT

Quality and Fidelity

Recognition accuracy depends on resolution, contrast, orientation, typography, and layout. The output is interpreted text rather than a visual copy of the image.

Limitations and Important Notes

  • Handwriting and decorative type can be inaccurate.
  • Low-contrast, blurred, or rotated text reduces recognition quality.
  • The deployment does not promise languages other than English.

Worked Example

Use a representative source image, apply Image Ocr, and compare the result with the original at full size before publishing it.

Helpful Tips

  • Keep the untouched source image while evaluating Image Ocr.
  • Check the TXT or Copyable text result at its intended display size.
