How to Use Image to Text (OCR)
Drop a screenshot, photo, or scan onto the upload area, or click to browse — files up to 25 MB are accepted. Before or after loading the image, pick the language of the text from the dropdown; thirteen are supported, including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and choosing correctly makes a large difference to accuracy. The Image to Text tool then loads the recognition engine and the language pack, shows you its progress, and reads the picture. When it finishes you get the recognised text in an editable box along with a word count and a confidence score, so you know at a glance whether to trust the result or retake the photo. The text box is editable, so you can fix the occasional misread character before you copy it out, and there are buttons to copy everything to the clipboard or download it as a .txt file. To extract text from image files accurately, use the sharpest, straightest, best-lit version you have — recognition quality depends far more on the input than on any setting. Your image is processed in your browser and is never uploaded.
Why Use Our Image to Text (OCR)?
Text trapped in a picture is text you cannot search, quote, translate, or paste — a screenshot of an error message, a photograph of a whiteboard, a scanned page from a book, a receipt you need the numbers from. Optical character recognition turns all of those back into something you can work with in seconds. Most OCR online services require a signup, limit you to a few pages a month, or quietly keep a copy of whatever you send them, which rules them out for anything with a name, an account number, or a medical detail on it. Here the recognition engine runs inside your own browser, so the image never travels anywhere and there is no page limit to hit. Multi-language support matters because an engine set to English will mangle Arabic or Japanese completely, and switching languages re-runs the recognition immediately. The editable output and confidence score are there because no OCR is perfect — seeing a low score tells you to check the result rather than trusting it blindly.
