JPG to TXT, asked and answered
Does converting JPG to TXT lose quality?
Nothing further is lost, but nothing is recovered either. TXT stores exactly what the JPG contains, compression artefacts included, and the file is usually several times larger for no visible gain.
Can I convert the TXT back to JPG?
Not by itself. We convert JPG to TXT but have no converter going the other way, so you would need to find the original.
What can I change about the TXT it produces?
You can set the language of the text. Anything left on Auto is decided by the encoder, which is usually the right answer unless you are targeting a specific size or device.
Where does the conversion happen?
On our server. The file is sent over HTTPS and converted in a sandbox with no network access of its own; your input and the result go together, removed at once if it fails and otherwise kept for a few minutes so you can download them, then deleted — whether or not you did. There are no accounts for anything to be kept against.
Is there a limit on file size?
Yes — there is a per-file cap and an hourly job limit, because this runs on one small server. The API page states the limits currently in force rather than a number baked into this page.
