OCR Forge

Turn screenshots, scans and photos into editable text or a searchable PDF.

REAL WALKTHROUGH

Watch OCR Forge extract real text

This walkthrough uploads a real CV screenshot, selects the language, extracts editable text, and shows why recognised text should always be checked.

🔒 Your image stays on this device. The recognition engine downloads when needed, but your file is not sent to MigaBuilder.

Extracted text

Clear, straight images with strong contrast produce the best results. Always verify names and numbers.

About OCR Forge

OCR Forge reads the text in photos and scans and turns it into editable text, without uploading the images.
