Extract editable text from photos, screenshots and scanned pages in 12+ languages. OCR runs in your browser, so images are never uploaded.
Image to Text Converter uses optical character recognition (OCR) running entirely in your browser to pull editable text out of photos, screenshots and scanned pages, supporting twelve languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. Because the OCR engine processes the image on-device, nothing is uploaded, which matters when extracting text from personal documents, ID cards or handwritten notes.
Upload a photo of a page, a screenshot of an article, or a scanned document, choose the correct language for the best accuracy, and the extracted text appears ready to copy and edit. It saves the tedious work of manually retyping text from an image — a printed recipe, a whiteboard photo from a meeting, a screenshot of an error message — into something you can actually search, edit or paste elsewhere.
Covering English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and more means the correct character set and language model is used for accurate recognition.
OCR runs locally in the browser, so photographed documents, screenshots or ID cards never leave your device during processing.
Photos, screenshots and scanned pages are all supported, rather than requiring a perfectly flat scanner input.
Extracted text lands in an editable box, ready for quick correction of any misread characters before copying.
Use a sharp, well-lit, straight-on photo with good contrast between the text and its background. Blurry, angled, low-resolution or heavily shadowed images significantly reduce OCR accuracy, so retaking a photo in better lighting often helps more than any setting adjustment.
Selecting the correct language before extracting matters because the OCR engine uses a language-specific character model — choosing English for an Arabic document, for example, will produce garbled output even on a perfectly clear image.
Printed text is recognised far more reliably than handwriting, since handwriting varies enormously between individuals. Neat, clearly separated handwriting has a reasonable chance of accurate extraction, but cursive or rushed handwriting may need manual correction afterwards.
Always check extracted text against the original image before relying on it, particularly for numbers, punctuation and similar-looking characters such as 0/O or 1/l/I, which are the most common sources of OCR misreads.
