Extract text from an image (OCR)

or click to select it

Recognize the text in any JPG, PNG or WEBP image with OCR (optical character recognition) and turn it into text you can copy or download, directly in your browser.

Uses an OCR engine (Tesseract) that runs entirely in your browser to recognize the text present in the image, regardless of its format. Works best with sharp, high-contrast images; it does not recognize handwritten text or complex tables, and the result may contain errors on low-quality images.

Use cases

  • Extract the text from any photo or screenshot regardless of format.
  • Recover the text of a document photographed with your phone.
  • Quickly copy the content of a sign, receipt or captured screen.
