Convert JPG to JSON

Convert JPG to JSON to get the text from a photographed document as a structure ready for a script to parse.

Convert JPG to JSON where photos of documents are handled by a program: a shot of a receipt, a form, or a page comes in from an app, and its text is needed in a form the code can parse.

What happens when you convert JPG to JSON

The file holds a block about the source (name, format, size), a list of pages with the full text and separate lines, and a list of detected tables with a header and rows. A photo has one page; a table appears when its rows and columns are visible on the shot.

The outcome depends on the frame: a straight shot with large type gives whole lines, while a tilted or heavily compressed photo may lose some characters. With no readable text there is no file and the conversion ends with an error. For reading by eye use the JPG to TXT converter; for loading into a system, the JPG to CSV converter.

How to convert JPG to JSON

  1. Upload your photo in JPG.
  2. Select JSON as the result format.
  3. Start the conversion and download the file.

FAQ

Why is JSON better than TXT for handling in code?

The lines are already laid out in an array, tables are separated from the text, and source details sit alongside. There is no plain text to split yourself.

How do I tell a misread digit?

Not from the file itself: a wrong digit looks exactly like a right one. Check the key values against the shot, especially on compressed photos.
