Image to text converter: extract text from any picture with free OCR

Turn images into editable text in seconds. This free image to text converter reads the words in screenshots, scanned pages, photos of documents and posters using OCR (optical character recognition) and shows them in a box you can copy, edit and download. It works with JPG, PNG, WebP and other image files, runs in your browser, and never uploads your pictures. There is no limit on how many images you convert.

How to convert an image to text

  1. Choose the text language of your image.
  2. Add one or more images by dropping them in the box or clicking it.
  3. Press Extract text, then copy the result or download it as a TXT or Word file.

Word count and character count included

Below the extracted text you see the word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time. The numbers update as you edit, so you can fix recognition mistakes and check the length at the same time. If you only need to count text, use the word and character counter.

Tips for accurate text recognition

  • Use a sharp, well-lit, straight image. Blurry or tilted photos reduce accuracy.
  • Pick the correct language before converting: English, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese are available.
  • Crop away borders and backgrounds so only the text remains.
  • Printed text works best. Handwriting is not recognized reliably.

Frequently asked questions

Is the image to text converter free?

Yes. It is free with no limits, watermarks or sign-up.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Can it read handwriting?

Not reliably. Text recognition is designed for printed text such as screenshots, scans, books and signs.

How do I get the text into Word or Excel?

Download the Word file from the results, or use the JPG to Word and JPG to Excel converters, which keep rows and columns.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
