Image to Text Converter (OCR)

How Image to Text (OCR) works

Upload one image (JPG, PNG, or WebP, max 5MB) and click Extract Text. We run OCR (optical character recognition) and return the text as plain text. Your image is not stored and is deleted after processing. OCR extracts text from photos, screenshots, and scanned documents so you can digitize printed text, copy content from images, or make image content searchable. English-only processing.

When should you use Image to Text (OCR)?

• When you need to copy text from a photo or screenshot
• When digitizing printed or handwritten text from a scan
• When you want searchable text from an image
• For receipts, forms, or documents captured as images
• When you need plain text without layout or images

Supported formats

Input formats: JPG, PNG, WebP. Single file, max 5MB. English only.
Output formats: Plain text (.txt). No layout or images preserved.

Common problems & fixes

• Extraction fails or text is wrong: Use a clear, high-contrast image under 5MB. Handwriting and low-quality scans may have errors.
• Wrong language or garbled text: This tool supports English only. For other languages, use a tool that supports your language.
• Usage limit reached: Sign in for a higher daily limit. Limits reset at midnight.
