Image to Text Converter.

Drop your image into the tool above (or browse, or paste it with Ctrl + V), pick the OCR language, and press Extract text. The text appears in an editable box where you can copy it or download it as a .txt file.

Yes. The core tool is free with no account and no login. OCR runs on your own device using an on-device OCR engine, so there is no per-scan server cost to pass on to you.

No. Your image is decoded, preprocessed, and recognized entirely in your browser tab. It is never sent to our servers, never stored, and never shared. You can verify this in your browser devtools: no image data leaves your device. See our privacy page for details.

Yes. Screenshots are one of the best use cases. Paste a screenshot directly with Ctrl + V (or Cmd + V on Mac) right after capturing it, no file needed. Clean, high-contrast screenshots usually produce the most accurate results.

Yes. Use the Copy button to place the text on your clipboard, or Download TXT to save it as a plain-text file. The text stays editable, so you can fix any recognition mistakes first.

Yes. On your phone, tap the upload area to choose a photo from your gallery or take a new picture with the camera. The result editor is fully responsive, and everything still runs locally on your device.

English works out of the box, and Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch can be selected. Their language data loads into your browser on first use.

Neat, clearly-written handwriting can sometimes be recognized, but the OCR engine is designed for printed and typed text, so handwritten notes are much less reliable. For best results use clear photos of printed documents, screenshots, or high-contrast scans.

OCR accuracy depends on image quality: low resolution, blur, shadows, decorative fonts, skewed text, or busy backgrounds all cause errors. Clear, well-lit, straight-on images give the best results. Always review the extracted text. The editor makes that easy.

JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP are fully supported. TIFF works where your browser can decode it (Safari supports TIFF; Chrome and Firefox generally do not, so convert to PNG first).

Yes. Upload your JPG image, press Extract text, then use the Download TXT button to save the recognized text as a .txt file. Conversion is free, runs entirely in your browser, and the text stays editable so you can fix mistakes before downloading.

Drop your JPG into the converter above, or choose it from your files. Press Extract text, then copy the result or download it as a .txt file. The tool is free with no account and no login, and your image is processed locally on your device instead of being uploaded to a server.

This tool reads image files (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP), not PDF files directly. To convert a PDF, first save its pages as JPG or PNG images, or take a screenshot of the page, then upload that image here. Scanned PDF pages converted this way usually produce clean, accurate text.

Open this page in Chrome on your Android phone and tap the upload area. Choose a photo from your gallery or take a new picture with the camera, then press Extract text. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file. Everything runs on your phone, so your photos never leave your device.

On a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, open this page in any modern browser and add your image by drag and drop, the file picker, or pasting a screenshot with Ctrl + V (Cmd + V on Mac). Press Extract text, then copy the result or download it as a .txt file.

First turn the PDF page into an image by exporting it as JPG or PNG, or by taking a screenshot. Extract the text with the converter above, then paste it into Microsoft Word or any editor. You can also download the result as a .txt file and open that file directly in Word.

The process is the same everywhere: add the image by dropping it, browsing your files, or pasting it, press Extract text, then edit, copy, or download the result. It works on phones, tablets, and computers, and every image is processed privately in your own browser.
