Read the text inside images and PDFs and turn it into editable, searchable content.
What it does
Zegi's OCR extracts text from images and PDFs and, where it recognizes them, pulls structured fields from invoices, receipts and passports — returning real confidence values, never fabricated data.
How it works
- Upload an image or PDF.
- Zegi reads it with PaddleOCR (primary) and Tesseract (fallback), detecting language automatically.
- Review the text and structured fields, then copy or export to Word, Excel or PDF.
Supported formats
Input: images (PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP) and PDFs. Output: text, structured data, or exports.
What you get
Editable text plus any detected structured data, ready to copy or export.
Important limitations
- Accuracy depends on the source quality; low-resolution or noisy scans reduce results.
- Uncertain fields are returned as empty rather than guessed — verify important values.
Privacy & your files
Your files are processed on Zegi's own servers — never sent to a third-party AI service — and are removed automatically after processing. See our Privacy Policy and Data Retention Policy for details.
