Do you need to upload files to the server to use the library?

This looks like a really odd API choice. Is there a way to use File in the browser instead of adding a HTTP server and hosting the image there?

This limitation prevent to use the library without any backend.

EDIT just realized that you can create a blob URL, will it work with the library?

I don't know what statement you are referring to. If you are talking about recognizing File objects in the browser, this is definitely supported, and multiple of our examples do this (see here).

I was looking at documentation:

https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/blob/master/docs/examples.md

It only contains examples with URLs. I would not hide examples like this. You should add a link to more examples from the repo into that markdown file.
