About Image to Text – Free Online OCR

Copy text from a photo, scan or screenshot. This tool uses the Tesseract OCR engine inside your browser, so your image is not uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Add an image.
  2. Wait while the text is recognized.
  3. Review and edit the text.
  4. Copy it or download it.

Good to know

The first use downloads about 15 MB of engine and language data, which is cached afterwards. Clear, high-contrast text works best; handwriting is unreliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I extract text from an image?

Add the image and the tool reads the text. Then copy it.

Is it accurate?

It is good on clear printed text. Blurry, skewed or handwritten text gives weaker results, so check the output.

Is my image uploaded?

No. OCR runs on your device.

Why does the first run take longer?

The OCR engine and language data are downloaded once, then cached.
