How to extract text from an image
From picture to text

Drop a picture into the upload area or choose it from your device. Clear, straight pages usually give the best result.
Pick a language
Use Auto Detect for an unknown page, or select the language printed in the image.
Start OCR
Click Convert to read the visible text in your image. The result appears in the page for review.
Check and copy
Compare names, numbers, and punctuation with the original before copying the text into your next tool.
What people use image OCR for
Useful in a pinch
Copy text from a screenshot
Extract a paragraph, error message, address, or order number instead of typing it again.
Make a receipt searchable
Turn a photographed receipt into copyable text so you can find the shop, date, or total later.
Reuse text from a slide
Pull wording from a presentation image into notes or a document while keeping the original slide nearby for checking.
Image to text questions
What most people want to know
You can upload common formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and WEBP, as well as PDF files. Each file can be up to 20 MB, and you can add up to 10 files at once.
OCR creates editable text, not a pixel-perfect copy of the layout. Check names, figures, symbols, and line breaks against the original image, especially when the page is blurry or contains columns.
Clear printed text is the best match. Handwriting, cursive, decorative fonts, glare, shadows, and low-resolution photos can lead to more corrections.
No. You can use the converter without signing up or adding a watermark.
Take the screenshot, save it as JPG or PNG, and drop it into the upload box. Choose the language if you know it, then click Convert. The text appears on screen for a first check before you copy it.
Yes. A clean scan with even lighting gives the most reliable result. The tool reads printed text from the image and returns it as plain text that you can save or copy.
It extracts the visible wording, including menus, error messages, and interface labels. The output is text only, so layout such as colors and button positions is not preserved.
