Image to Text — what it does
Image to Text (OCR) reads the words inside a photo or scan and turns them into editable, copyable text - no software to install and nothing leaves your device.
Why extract text from images?
A picture of text is not searchable or editable. Recognising the characters lets you copy, fix, translate, and reuse the words, which saves hours of retyping and makes photographed or scanned documents usable again.
How to use Image to Text
- 1Open your image (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, or TIFF) in the tool above.
- 2Wait a moment while the OCR engine recognises the text in the picture.
- 3Review the extracted text and correct any misread character.
- 4Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Open your image in the tool, wait while the on-device OCR engine reads the picture, then copy the recognised words or download them as a .txt file. Everything runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to a server and you can use it without signing up.
You can open JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF images. For the cleanest result use a high-resolution, well-lit photo where the letters are clearly separated and the background is plain. The recognised text is returned as editable words you can fix before copying.
Yes. The recognised words appear in an editable box so you can correct mistakes, then copy them to the clipboard or download a plain .txt file. The extraction runs entirely in your browser, so the tool is free, private, adds no watermark, and works without an account.
Printed and neatly typed text is recognised very accurately. Handwriting varies a lot, so clear printed-style writing is read well, but messy or heavily cursive notes may contain errors. Use a high-contrast photo of the writing on a plain background for the best outcome.
Yes. The OCR runs 100% in your browser with the Tesseract engine - your image never leaves your device, there is no sign-up, no file-size watermark, and no limit on how many images you process.
