About Image to Text conversion
Optical character recognition (OCR) reads the shapes of letters in an image and turns them into selectable, searchable text. This tool runs OCR entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so a screenshot, scanned page, or photo of printed text never has to be uploaded anywhere to be read.
It works well on clear, high-contrast text - screenshots, scanned documents, book pages, and printed signage. Handwriting, heavily stylized fonts, and low-resolution or blurry photos will extract less accurately, since OCR relies on well-defined character shapes.
Common use cases
- Pulling a quote or paragraph out of a screenshot without retyping it
- Digitizing text from a scanned document or printed page
- Extracting text from a photo of a whiteboard, sign, or receipt
- Making a scanned image searchable by converting it to plain text
