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.

Tip: use a sharp, well-lit, straight-on photo and crop closely around the text for the best accuracy.
