Does it work on JPEG files too?

Yes. JPG and JPEG are exactly the same format — just different file extensions. Both work identically with our OCR tool. There is no difference in quality or accuracy.

Does JPEG compression affect OCR accuracy?

High compression (low quality) can reduce accuracy slightly by introducing visual artifacts around text. High-quality JPGs (low compression, high DPI) give the best results. Even heavily compressed JPGs typically achieve 90%+ accuracy.

What is the maximum JPG file size?

Maximum file size is 10MB per upload. Most JPG photos from phones and cameras are well under this limit. If your file exceeds 10MB, reduce the resolution or compression quality — OCR accuracy remains high even at moderate resolutions.

Can it read text from a scanned JPG document?

Yes. Scanned documents saved as JPG are one of the most common use cases. For best results, scan at 300 DPI or higher with good contrast. Our AI handles both clean scans and slightly skewed or faded documents.

Do I need to install any software to convert JPG to text?

No installation required. This is a web-based tool that works entirely in your browser on any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Just visit the page, upload your JPG, and extract text instantly.
