I have created a new website with free images (free low res images 800px) and option to buy full res for 20+ USD. The URL is https://imagefree.com/en It would be great to get some feedback on the website, design and images. Currently I have 1500 images but soon it will reach at least 10K images. All images are unique and authentic - not shown on other image websites. Tech stack: Laravel - PHP, AWS, MySQL

Thanks for the feedback. I agree - it is on our todo list to look into the speed issue. Will check out this issue with the apostrophe as well. Good idea to display the text.

I am currently using Adsense settings that allow Google to choose the placements. It seems it makes the sites too crowded with ads - I agree. We are planning on a new design and when that is done we will have specific spots for ads and not allow Google to choose how many or where to place them.

Thanks for the feedback. We have privacy links: https://www.myfreeocr.com/en/privacy - we have to look into the terms. I haven't done full comparison to other tools yet but we seems to support more languages and image/pdf formats than other tools.

So you knew about my site before I posted it here? How - where? Thanks for the honest feedback - that is exactly what I am looking for. I know the design is not the best and we have plans to make it more modern. If I will implement an OCR API then I have to support good service and the uptime must be good. Currently I have ads from Google AdSense on my site so there is a business model - to get great traffic and revenue from Google and then when the API is ready I could have subscription plans. What other OCR providers do you like or look professional? Yes, you are right the tech is just one part - that is one of the reason I am looking for feedback here. Thanks again - great to get your valuable feedback.

I am not sure how we can provide evidence that we don't store those docs unless it is just a desktop app that works without internet connection.
Re:Show HN: My Free OCR Website – want feedback on Wednesday January 12, 2022 @01:43AM (#29903150)
We delete the documents and state that on the website - we only count the chars that we convert and add that number to the total number of chars we have converted from the start of the website.

I own this website MyFreeOCR.com you can use it to convert images to text. It supports 100 languages and many different formats (pdf to text, tiff to text, bmp to text, jpeg to text, bmp to pdf, jpeg to pdf, and more. I would like to get feedback and feature request from you. Currently we are looking into developing an OCR API. Would that be useful for you?

I agree - we will clear this up. Thanks for your help.
Re:Free images for your startup / website on Sunday December 30, 2018 @11:43AM (#18789949)
Yes we will add many photos each week. unsplash started with 10 :)
Re:Free images for your startup / website on Sunday December 30, 2018 @11:15AM (#18789808)
That is a bug and will be corrected. The site is free but a link to the site would be appreciated. The reason for this bug is that the site was built as part of another website http://www.ImageRee.com that is a normal stock photo website. The termOfUse from that site has for some reason been published on this site.
Re:Free images for your startup / website on Sunday December 30, 2018 @11:14AM (#18789801)
The TermOfUse will be updated. It is totally free but a link to the site would be appreciated. The reason for this bug is that the site was built as part of another website http://www.ImageRee.com that is a normal stock photo website. The termOfUse from that site has for some reason been published on this site.
Re:Free images for your startup / website on Sunday December 30, 2018 @09:21AM (#18789282)
What other free image sites do you use?
Thanks - We are just starting so we don't have many subscribers yet. We are from now on going to focus more on the Enterprise customers and add more features for them. I think that could work - we will help them set up the alerts and find new interesting leads/searches that benefit their business. It seems that people don't know how to create alerts that matter. Most people just add in their brand name or add in a phrase that is too generic. When you could: - add a search for a topic that is related your business - like people asking for help with something that your business needs. - get alerts for topics that have more than X likes or X retweets. - get alerts for topics where the Twitter user has more than X followers. - collect some data and export all those Twitter users and use that list for the retargeting campaign on Twitter.

So there are so many alerts you can create for your business other than just the brand name.

Thanks. We will fix it. Thanks for the feedback. Let us know if you want a free account for your startup.
