Convertix is a browser-based OCR tool that uses Tesseract.js to extract text from images entirely client-side, ensuring privacy by never uploading images. It supports 12 languages and offers features like clipboard paste and text editing, but is essentially a wrapper around an existing open-source engine.

Target audience: general users, developers, researchers, students
