Free Bengali OCR – copy Bengali text from any image

Retyping Bengali text by hand is slow, and most Bengali keyboards make it even slower. This Bengali image to text converter reads the Bengali script straight from your picture and gives you editable Unicode text you can copy, search or translate. It is useful for Bengali newspapers, West Bengal and Tripura documents, books and question papers.

How to extract Bengali text from a photo

Tips for better Bengali OCR accuracy

Crop away borders and pictures, keep the text horizontal and avoid shadows. Higher-resolution images with dark text on a light background give the cleanest Bengali output. If a page mixes Bengali with another Indian language, choose the matching option from the language menu.

Private by design

The OCR engine runs inside your browser, so your Bengali documents are never uploaded to a server — safe for certificates, IDs and personal letters.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a Bengali image to text?

Upload the photo or screenshot (or press Ctrl+V to paste it). Bengali + English is already selected, so the Bengali text is extracted in a few seconds and you can copy it straight into Word, WhatsApp or Google Docs.

Can it read Bengali and English mixed together?

Yes. This page loads both the Bengali and English language packs, so documents that mix Bengali script with English words are read correctly.

Does it work with handwritten Bengali?

It is designed for printed text. Neat handwriting sometimes works, but printed documents, typed text and screenshots give much better accuracy.

Why is the first scan slower?

The Bengali language pack (a few MB) is downloaded into your browser the first time. After that it is cached and scanning is much faster.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The tool runs entirely inside your browser, so your files and data never leave your device. Nothing is stored or seen by us.
