Extract text from images and screenshots

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads the letters in a picture and turns them into editable text. Instead of retyping a document, screenshot, receipt or notice board photo, upload it here and copy the text in seconds.

Common uses

  • Copying text from scanned documents, notes or book pages.
  • Grabbing text from screenshots where you cannot select it.
  • Digitising receipts, business cards and printed forms.
  • Saving quotes or information from photos for later search.

Getting accurate results

  • Use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight on, not at an angle.
  • Crop the image to only the text area.
  • Printed text works much better than handwriting.
  • Check names, numbers and amounts after extraction — OCR can confuse similar characters such as 0 and O, or 1 and l.

The recognition runs in your browser, so the first scan can take a few seconds while the language data loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the text extraction?
It works well on clear, well-lit, printed text. Accuracy drops with handwriting, low-resolution images, unusual fonts, or heavily skewed/rotated photos — always proofread the output before relying on it.
Is my image uploaded to a server for processing?
No — text recognition runs using an in-browser OCR engine, so the image itself isn't sent to an external server for this tool to work.
