License Plate OCR
Read license plate numbers from vehicle photos. Free.
Key Capabilities
Can it read license plates from any country?
The OCR engine extracts text from license plates regardless of country format. It handles US, European, Indian, UK, and Asian plate formats. Plates with clear alphanumeric characters on contrasting backgrounds produce the best results.
Who uses this tool professionally?
Parking lot managers extract plate numbers from security camera screenshots. Insurance adjusters document vehicle plate numbers from accident scene photos. Property managers log visitor vehicle plates for parking enforcement.
What image quality is needed?
The license plate should be clearly legible in the photo with characters distinguishable. Close-up, well-lit photos achieve 90%+ accuracy. Distant, blurry, or nighttime photos may produce lower accuracy. The plate should ideally fill at least 20% of the image frame.
Is my vehicle data kept private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. License plate numbers and vehicle identification data are never uploaded to any server.
