Are images uploaded for text extraction?

No. The selected image is processed locally in your browser. BaseToolbox does not upload the image to a server for OCR.

How can I improve image to text accuracy?

Use a sharp image with good contrast, straight text lines, and enough resolution. OCR works best on printed text rather than blurred or low-contrast photos.

Can this convert handwriting to text?

It is designed for printed text in images. Handwriting may fail or produce unreliable text, so this page does not promise handwriting recognition.

Can I upload a PDF here?

This page handles image files only. PDF text extraction and PDF OCR require separate workflows.
