AI Image to Text Converter

Extract text from images using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. Upload a screenshot, scanned document, or photograph containing printed text, and the converter identifies and outputs editable text you can copy, edit, or download. It supports JPG, PNG, and WebP image formats.

All processing happens directly in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to an external server. Whether you need to digitize a printed page, pull text from a screenshot, or grab a quote from a photo, this tool handles the conversion in seconds without any signup or software installation.

What image formats and text types are supported?

The converter accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images. It works with printed text in a wide range of languages and typefaces, including text in screenshots, scanned documents, photographs of signs or labels, and digital graphics. For the most accurate results, use a clear, well-lit image where the text is legible and not heavily distorted.

Handwritten text is not reliably supported. The OCR engine is trained on printed characters and may produce inaccurate results when processing handwriting, cursive, or heavily stylized fonts.

How does the OCR technology work?

The converter uses Tesseract.js, an open-source OCR library that runs entirely in the browser using machine learning. Tesseract analyzes the image to detect regions of text, then recognizes individual characters and assembles them into words and lines. The extracted text is displayed in the output area where you can copy or download it.

Because Tesseract.js runs client-side, your images never leave your device. The OCR model is downloaded once and cached by your browser, so subsequent conversions start faster.

How do I extract text from an image?

Upload your image on the left by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping the file. The tool processes the image and displays the extracted text on the right within a few seconds. You can then copy the text to your clipboard or download it as a text file.
