Frequently Asked Questions

What is TextSharp and how does it work?

TextSharp is an AI-powered text image enhancer that transforms blurry, low-quality text in images into crystal-clear, readable content. Our advanced machine learning algorithms use edge-aware sharpening, intelligent noise reduction, and contrast optimization to dramatically improve text clarity.

Simply upload an image containing text, and our AI will analyze and enhance it automatically, making the text much more readable and professional-looking.

Is TextSharp free to use?

Yes! TextSharp offers free AI text image enhancement with no registration required. Our text sharpener provides professional-grade results for improving text clarity, OCR accuracy, and image readability. Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to enhance text in images quickly and effectively.

What types of images work best with TextSharp?

TextSharp works best with images containing text, including:

• Screenshots with UI text, tooltips, and interface elements
• Scanned documents, PDFs, and printed materials
• Handwritten notes and sketches
• Photos containing text (signs, labels, receipts)
• Low-resolution images with blurry text

Which image formats are supported?

TextSharp supports the following image formats:

• PNG - Best for screenshots and UI elements
• JPG/JPEG - Good for photos and scanned documents
• WEBP - Modern format with excellent compression

Maximum file size is 50MB, and we recommend using PNG format for the best results with text-heavy images.

How fast is the processing?

TextSharp is optimized for speed. Most images are processed within 2-5 seconds, depending on image size and server load. Our AI algorithms are designed for quick processing while maintaining high-quality results for better text readability and OCR accuracy.

Does TextSharp improve OCR accuracy?

Yes! TextSharp significantly improves OCR accuracy by enhancing text edges, reducing noise, and improving contrast. The text sharpening technology produces cleaner images that OCR tools can process more effectively, leading to better text extraction results from screenshots, scans, and document images.

Can I use TextSharp for commercial purposes?

Yes, TextSharp can be used for commercial purposes. Whether you're creating documentation, presentations, marketing materials, or processing business documents, you're free to use TextSharp to enhance your text images. For high-volume commercial usage, please check our terms of service.

Is my image data stored or kept private?

Your privacy is our priority. By default, all text image processing is temporary and images are automatically deleted after enhancement. You can configure storage settings or keep results completely private, depending on your deployment preferences. Our AI text enhancer processes images securely without storing personal data.

What happens to my images after processing?

Images are processed in memory and automatically deleted after enhancement is complete. We don't store your images on our servers, and the enhanced results are only available to you for download. Your original images and enhanced versions are never shared with third parties.

Is the service secure?

Yes, TextSharp uses industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. Images are processed in secure, isolated environments, and we follow strict data protection protocols to ensure your privacy and security.

What's the difference between TextSharp and regular image upscalers?

TextSharp is specifically designed for text enhancement, not general image upscaling. While upscalers increase image resolution, TextSharp focuses on improving text clarity, sharpness, and readability. Our AI is trained specifically on text patterns and uses edge-aware algorithms that work better for text than general image enhancement tools.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Currently, TextSharp processes one image at a time through the web interface. For batch processing of multiple images, you can use our API to integrate TextSharp into your workflow. Check our API documentation for details on programmatic access.

What if the enhancement doesn't look good?

If you're not satisfied with the results, try these tips:

• Use a higher quality source image
• Ensure good contrast between text and background
• Try cropping to focus on text regions
• Use PNG format for screenshots
• Make sure text is at least 12 pixels in height

Is there an API available?

Yes! TextSharp provides a comprehensive REST API for integrating text image enhancement into your applications. Our API supports multiple programming languages and includes detailed documentation with code examples. Check out our API documentation for more information.

The image upload failed. What should I do?

If image upload fails, check these common issues:

• File size is under 50MB
• Image format is supported (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP)
• Internet connection is stable
• Browser is up to date

The enhanced image looks over-sharpened. How can I fix this?

Over-sharpening can occur with very high-quality source images or certain text types. Try using a slightly lower quality source image, or ensure the text has sufficient contrast before enhancement. The AI automatically adjusts sharpening based on image characteristics.

Can I enhance very small text?

TextSharp works best with text that's at least 12 pixels in height. Very small text (under 8 pixels) may not improve significantly. For best results, use high-resolution source images and ensure text is clearly visible before enhancement.
