Making text extraction effortless
Optiic is the OCR & image recognition API built for developers who need fast, accurate text extraction without the complexity.
Built by developers, for developers
From a simple idea to millions of images processed monthly
The spark
Frustrated by expensive, complex OCR solutions, we built Optiic as a side project to solve our own text extraction needs.
Open to the world
Launched the public API and npm SDK. Developers from around the world started integrating Optiic into their apps.
Scaling up
Hit 1 million monthly API calls. Added PDF analysis, multi-language support, and character filtering features.
Where we are today
Processing 5M+ images monthly across 50+ languages. Trusted by developers at companies of all sizes to power their document workflows.
Our mission
To make optical character recognition accessible, affordable, and effortless for every developer. We believe extracting text from images should be as simple as a single API call.
Our vision
A world where language barriers, paper documents, and unstructured image data are no longer obstacles. We're building the infrastructure to make every image readable and every document searchable.

What drives us
The principles behind everything we build
Simplicity first
If it takes more than 5 minutes to integrate, we've failed. Every API endpoint, SDK method, and doc page is designed for instant productivity.
Developer experience
Clean docs, predictable responses, generous free tiers, and no surprise pricing. We build the API we'd want to use ourselves.
Accuracy matters
We obsess over OCR accuracy because your users depend on it. Every improvement we ship is measured against real-world documents.
Privacy by default
Images are processed in real time and never stored. Your data stays yours. We don't log, share, or monetize your content.
