Image to Text

Image:
Dimensions:	x	Width and height of each "pixel" (Must be 1 (one) or greater)
Compression:	Background	Combine the most common color into one "pixel"
	None
	Color Sharing	Combine common colors into one "pixel" (Best for images with a lot of solid colors and cartoon-like images)
	Color Smoothing	Combine common colors into one "pixel" and match similar colors by threshold (1-254) (Best for photo realistic images)

Maximum source image size is 1,024KB with dimensions of 2500x2500.

I have noticed that this works best with Chromium and its variants.
