How to extract text from an image

  1. Choose or drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, or AVIF image, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.
  2. Check the languages in the image and choose whether to keep the original line breaks.
  3. Select Extract text, then edit, copy, or download the result as a .txt file.

Recognition works best on printed text and screenshots that are sharp, straight, and high in contrast. Handwriting, curved pages, small blurry text, and decorative fonts are read less accurately, so check the result before you use it.

Text is recognized by Tesseract running in your browser. The image and the extracted text never leave your device, so the tool is safe for receipts, IDs, and work documents. The first run downloads the engine and language data from this site and keeps them in your browser.
