What it is
FreeOCR.AI extracts editable text from photos, scans and screenshots, with tools for tables and user-defined fields. It recognizes printed text, clear handwriting, formulas and mixed layouts in more than 100 languages without manual language selection. Results can be copied or downloaded as TXT, Markdown or editable Word documents; table extraction can produce XLSX or CSV, and field values can be exported to CSV or Excel. Free online use handles one image at a time, with 10 free images per day shared across OCR, table and field extraction. New accounts receive 50 bonus credits. The portable desktop app for Windows x64, Windows ARM64 and macOS can process multiple images, PDFs or folders, saving results locally outside cloud history. Pro adds saved history, ad-free processing and ZIP downloads. Monthly Pro costs $10 a month, while Yearly Pro costs $80 a year. API access is a separate paid, usage-based service for image-to-text, table OCR and structured extraction.
