Convert Image to JSON using C#

In a recent blog post we showed how to convert image to text with OCR in C#. This article explains how to convert Image to JSON using C# programmatically. We use an enterprise‑level .NET OCR API that provides easy configuration for fast image‑to‑JSON conversion and also lets you extract text from specific image areas.

The article covers:

.NET OCR - C# API installation

The installation is straightforward and has no third‑party dependencies. You can either download the DLL files or run the following command in the NuGet package manager to install the .NET OCR API.

Install-Package Aspose.OCR

How to Convert Image to JSON using C#

This OCR library recognizes scanned images, screenshots, and other image formats. It can convert PDFs and images to both text and JSON.

Follow these steps and use the code snippet to convert an image to JSON in a .NET C# application:

  1. Get the image URL.
  2. Create an instance of AsposeOcr.
  3. Create a RecognitionResult object with the image recognition result.
  4. Set up a RecognitionSettings object to customize the process.
  5. Call RecognizeImageFromUri to recognize text from the image URI.
  6. Use RecognitionText to obtain the result as a single string.
  7. Invoke GetJson to generate a JSON string with the recognition data.

The sample code below demonstrates image‑to‑JSON conversion in C#:

The resulting JSON is shown in the image below:
