Questions

Is converting JPG to TXT free?
Yes. ConvertBoy is free with no daily limit, no watermark and no sign-up.
Is there a file size limit?
No. Your own device does the work, so the only limit is your device's memory. Very large videos take longer on slower computers.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser. Your JPG files never leave your device, and nothing is kept after you close the tab.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android, as well as on any computer.
Which languages can it read?
Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian Latin, English, Arabic, German and Turkish. Clear, straight scans give the best results.
