Image to Text (OCR)
This free image to text converter pulls editable text out of any JPG, PNG, or WebP, right in your browser. No signup, and nothing is ever uploaded.
How to Convert an Image to Text
Upload Your Image
Drag and drop or choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP that has text in it. The image opens in a full-screen editor.
Click Extract Text
Press Extract Text. The converter reads the image in your browser and pulls the words out in a few seconds.
Copy or Download
Copy the text to your clipboard, or save it as a .txt file. Edit it right there first if you need to.
Pull Editable Text Out of Any Image
Text trapped inside an image is a pain. You cannot select it, search it, or paste it. An image to text converter fixes that by reading the picture and handing back the words as plain, editable text. Screenshots, scanned pages, receipts, a photo of a slide or a street sign, all of it becomes text you can actually use.
This one runs entirely in your browser. You drop in a JPG, PNG, or WebP, the image opens in a full-screen editor, and one click extracts the text. Nothing is sent to a server, so private documents stay on your own device. You can copy the result or save it as a .txt file.
It works best on printed and typed text. The tool sharpens and scales the image before reading it, so clean documents and clear screenshots come out accurate. Handwriting is a different problem and is not read reliably, so aim it at printed text for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this free image to text converter.
How do I convert an image to text?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP, then click Extract Text. The converter reads the image in your browser and shows the words in a text box. From there you can edit them, copy them, or download them as a .txt file. The whole thing takes a few seconds.
Is this image to text converter free?
Yes, it is completely free. There is no signup, no account, and no daily limit. You can convert as many images as you want, and there is no watermark on the text you pull out.
Does it work without uploading my image?
Yes. Everything runs inside your browser, so your image never gets sent to a server. That keeps private documents, screenshots, and receipts on your own device. It also keeps working on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP all work. These cover screenshots, scanned pages, and photos taken on a phone. For the best results, use a clear image where the text is sharp and easy to read.
Can it read handwriting?
It is built for printed and typed text, like documents, screenshots, receipts, and signs. Handwriting is not read reliably, because free in-browser text recognition is trained on printed fonts, not cursive or messy writing. For handwriting, expect mistakes.
How do I get the most accurate results?
Use a clear, high-contrast image where the text is straight and well lit. Higher resolution helps, so a sharp photo beats a tiny thumbnail. Printed or typed text in a standard font gives the cleanest output. Skewed, blurry, or low-light images lower accuracy.
