What is Image to Text?
Image to Text uses OCR (optical character recognition) to read printed text from an image and turn it into plain text you can copy, edit, and search. Instead of retyping content by hand, you upload a photo, screenshot, or scan and get the recognized text back.
How to Extract Text from an Image
- Upload one or more JPG, PNG, or WEBP images (up to 10).
- Click “Extract text” and wait while OCR reads the content.
- Review the recognized text once the task finishes.
- Download the .txt file or run another extraction.
Supported Image Formats
The tool accepts common image formats including JPG, PNG, and WEBP. Clear, well-lit, high-resolution images produce the most accurate text.
OCR Use Cases
- Scanned documents: turn paper records and files into searchable text.
- Screenshots: copy text from screenshots you cannot select normally.
- Notes and whiteboards: digitize handwritten or printed classroom notes.
- Receipts: record amounts and details from printed receipts.
- Printed text: extract paragraphs from books, articles, and posters.
Accuracy and Limitations
Recognition works best with sharp, upright images and clear printed text. Very small fonts, heavy blur, skewed pages, or complex backgrounds can reduce accuracy. Always review the extracted text before using it.
