How to extract text from TIFF
Upload a TIFF image, choose the document language, select Plain Text or Searchable PDF, and start extraction. The tool uses OCR processing to recognize readable text in the image.
What is OCR?
Optical character recognition, or OCR, analyzes text visible in an image and converts recognized characters into machine-readable text. It is useful for scanned documents, photographed pages, and TIFF files that do not already contain selectable text.
Choose the correct language
Selecting the language that matches the document can help OCR interpret characters and words more accurately. The page provides multiple language choices for extraction.
Plain Text vs Searchable PDF
Choose Plain Text when you mainly need extracted text that can be copied or edited. Choose Searchable PDF when you need PDF output with searchable text produced from the OCR process.
What affects OCR accuracy?
- Clear, sharp source images are easier to recognize.
- Correct orientation helps OCR read lines in the expected direction.
- High contrast between text and background can improve recognition.
- Decorative fonts, handwriting, blur, and damaged scans may reduce accuracy.
- Always proofread extracted text when accuracy is important.
