About the Image to Text Converter (OCR)
Extract text from images using optical character recognition (OCR), turning a photo, scan or screenshot into words you can edit, search and copy. It saves hours of retyping.
The recognition runs privately in your browser, so your images aren’t uploaded. Ideal for digitising notes, receipts, book pages and documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from an image?

Is the image to text (OCR) tool free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The OCR runs in your browser, so your images stay private on your device.
What images work best for OCR?
Clear, well-lit images with sharp, upright text give the most accurate results. Blurry or skewed photos reduce accuracy.
