Frequently Asked Questions

How do I paste a screenshot?

Take your screenshot as usual (e.g., Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac, Windows+Shift+S on Windows), then press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) directly on this page — no need to save the file first.

What does "Clean up extra line breaks" do?

It removes unnecessary blank lines and trims stray whitespace that OCR sometimes introduces, producing tidier text — particularly useful for chat screenshots or UI captures with awkward spacing.

Does this work for screenshots of code or error messages?

Yes, though very small text or unusual fonts in code editors may reduce accuracy — for large blocks of code, higher-resolution screenshots help.

Can I still upload a file instead of pasting?

Yes, drag-and-drop and file selection both work as alternatives to pasting.
