How to turn text from image to text
01
pick your picture
Choose a JPG, PNG or WEBP from your phone or computer. A screenshot, a snap of a page, a receipt, anything with words on it.
02

The reader scans the picture and types out everything it finds. A progress bar shows how far along it is.

copy or save
Touch up any odd letter, then copy the text to your clipboard or download it as a plain text file.

// questions
Image text to text: things people ask
How do I convert the text from image to text?
Drop your picture on the box near the top of this page, or click it to choose a file. Within a few seconds you get the words back in a box you can edit, copy, or download.
Which files can I use?
JPG, PNG and WEBP up to about 15 MB. For the best reading, use a sharp picture where the writing is clear and not too small.
Will my picture be uploaded somewhere?
No. The reading happens inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Nothing is stored on our side.
How good is the reading?
Clean printed writing usually comes out very well. Handwriting, fancy fonts, blur or odd angles can trip it up, which is why you can edit the result before saving.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free, with no account and no usage cap. Use it as often as you like.
