Extract the text from any image with free online OCR. Drop a screenshot, scan or photo and copy the text out in seconds. Nothing is uploaded.
Opens your phone camera. Snap a page or sign and read the text off it.
The text reader downloads once (about 6 MB) the first time, then works offline on your device.
Drop, paste or snap a picture that has text in it. It stays on your device.
The OCR engine reads the image right in your browser, page by page.
Edit the result if you like, then copy it or download it as a .txt file.
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many images you convert. The text recognition runs on your own device instead of a paid server.
No. The OCR engine runs inside your browser, so your image and the extracted text never leave your device. That makes it safe for screenshots, receipts, IDs and other private documents.
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and photos straight from your phone camera. You can drop several images at once and get all the text together.
Very good on clear printed text, and it improves with a sharp, well-lit, straight-on image. Handwriting, heavy stylised fonts and blurry or angled photos are much harder for any OCR engine.
Yes. Tap Take a photo to use your camera, or upload an image from your gallery. It works the same in mobile browsers with no app to install.
This tool reads images. For a paper document, use the Document Scanner instead: it straightens the page, cleans it up and can produce a searchable PDF with the text embedded.
English at the moment. The recognition model is downloaded once (about 6 MB) the first time you extract text, then it is cached for later visits.
