Stop retyping text from pictures
When text lives inside a photo, screenshot, or scanned page, copying it by hand is slow and error-prone. Image-to-text OCR reads the picture and gives you editable text you can paste anywhere.
How to extract text from an image
Upload your JPG, PNG, or WEBP image.
Let the tool recognise the text on the image.
Download the text and reuse it in any document.
Best images for OCR
Sharp, well-lit images with clear printed text work best. Straighten the image and crop out clutter for cleaner results. Very stylised fonts and handwriting are less reliable.
Common uses
People use image to text to grab quotes from screenshots, capture details from receipts and business cards, and pull notes off a photographed whiteboard.
