Image to Text: Extract Text from Any Image Instantly

Have a screenshot, scanned document, or photo with text you need to edit or search? Our free Image to Text converter uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to pull readable text directly out of any image — right in your browser. Simply drag and drop your image or upload a file, and within seconds you’ll get fully editable, copyable text. Because everything runs locally in your browser, your images are never uploaded to a server, keeping your files completely private. It’s the fastest way to digitize printed notes, extract quotes from screenshots, or turn scanned documents into usable text — no software to install, and completely free.

About This Image to Text Tool

This tool uses an in-browser OCR engine to scan your uploaded image and recognize any text it contains, then converts it into plain, editable text. It works well with:

• Screenshots of articles, chats, or documents
• Scanned pages or printed text
• Photos of signs, labels, or handwritten notes (results vary with handwriting)
• Receipts, business cards, and forms

All processing happens directly in the visitor’s browser — no image is ever sent to a server, so it’s fast and fully private.
