Overview
Hirak OCR converts images containing text into machine-readable strings, supporting over 100 languages with high accuracy. It accepts image URLs or base64-encoded images and returns the extracted text in JSON format. The API allows unlimited requests, making it practical for batch processing or high-volume workflows.
Beginner Tip
You can submit either a public image URL or a base64-encoded image string — using a URL is simpler for testing since you just need a publicly accessible link to an image file.
