Extract Hindi (हिंदी) and English text from any photo, scan or screenshot — free and private.
Note: Selecting mixed languages takes slightly longer as the AI loads multiple dictionaries.
Retyping Hindi text by hand is slow, and most Hindi keyboards make it even slower. This Hindi image to text converter reads the Devanagari script straight from your picture and gives you editable Unicode text you can copy, search or translate. It is useful for Aadhaar letters, ration cards, school notices, newspaper cuttings and WhatsApp forwards.
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 Hindi output. If a page mixes Hindi with another Indian language, choose the matching option from the language menu.
The OCR engine runs inside your browser, so your Hindi documents are never uploaded to a server — safe for certificates, IDs and personal letters.
Upload the photo or screenshot (or press Ctrl+V to paste it). Hindi + English is already selected, so the Hindi text is extracted in a few seconds and you can copy it straight into Word, WhatsApp or Google Docs.
Yes. This page loads both the Hindi and English language packs, so documents that mix Devanagari script with English words are read correctly.
It is designed for printed text. Neat handwriting sometimes works, but printed documents, typed text and screenshots give much better accuracy.
The Hindi language pack (a few MB) is downloaded into your browser the first time. After that it is cached and scanning is much faster.
No. The tool runs entirely inside your browser, so your files and data never leave your device. Nothing is stored or seen by us.
