ImageToTextOnline is a web-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that extracts text from uploaded images and PDF files. The service supports JPG, PNG, GIF, JFIF, HEIC, and PDF formats. Registered users gain access to conversion history, account settings, and additional features.
You may register via email/password or Google OAuth 2.0. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must provide accurate, current information during registration. Accounts found to be in violation of these terms may be suspended or terminated at our discretion.
You agree not to:
The ImageToTextOnline application, including its design, code, and branding, is the property of its developers. You retain ownership of any content you upload. We do not claim rights over the text extracted from your images.
To ensure fair usage, API requests are subject to rate limits. Exceeding these limits may result in temporary restrictions on your access to the service. Rate limit details are communicated via standard HTTP headers.
We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. This is an academic project and is provided on an "as is" basis.
ImageToTextOnline is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the use of the service. OCR accuracy may vary depending on image quality and content.
We may terminate or suspend your account at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we determine violates these terms or is harmful to other users, the service, or third parties. Upon termination, your right to use the service will immediately cease.
